The specific reason I have this is so that I can access the astlinux web interface at either pbx.myurl.tld and failover.myurl.tld. My failover host forwards traffic on a specific port over the wireguard VPN that connects my main system and the failover gateway. They way it is done is to use firewall marks (fwmark) to mark traffic coming in on that interface, and a combination of iptables, ip rule and ip route. I have it scripted so that it is setup whenever the wireguard link is brought up and survives firewall restarts. Its been a while but I can go figure out what parts to extract from my scripts and share if there is interest.
