Hello

        I've actually configured my firewall to use ISP redundancy in
the following setup.

        FW have 2 external interfaces
        Interface 1:    172.16.0.0/29 (6 Usables)
                                .1 = Router
                                .2 = FW
                                .3 = ServerA
        Interface 2:    172.16.1.0/29 (6 Usables)
                                .1 = Router
                                .2 = FW
                                .3 = Server A

        ServerA internal IP = 192.168.100.5

        In NATTING I have
        ORIGINAL                                TRANLATED
        SOURCE  DEST                    SOURCE          DEST
        ANY             0.3                     ANY
S - 100.5
        ANY             1.3                     ANY
S - 100.5
        100.5           ANY                     H - 0.3         ANY
        100.5           ANY                     H - 1.3         ANY
        Internal        ANY                     H - Behind FW   ANY

        S = Static
        H = Hide

        Everything work fine for every host except Server A

        The problem is that instead of NATTING the Server A according to
the ISP link used, it always NAT it according to the first rules.
Therfore when using LINK B with NAT A, the packet never come back.

        I can of course remove both nat and Hide it behind the firewall,
however this won't work because I Outgoing packet from server to be
identified with a UNIQUE IP.

        Does anyone know if it's feasible? Or does I need to use Hide
NAT behind Gateway for all outgoing packet using the ISP link?

Thank

ML
