misc@ I have a small issue with a particular website a client uses that does not like the outbound load balancing I have put in place on their firewall. The issue is, that form authentication to the site fails from the internal network if the many requests the login generates get split between their two ISP's. Accessing the website from the firewall itself does not incur the same issue.
I have put a band-aid on it by simply forcing all http traffic to that particular site out only one of the ISP's. This works until that ISP fails and I have to down that route. While the other route keeps internet access working, if the link that I have forced this website to use is the one that dies, that site is no longer accessible to the internal network. I am looking for suggestions for a more elegant solution. Ideally, I think that when a host on the internal network requests a login to this particular site, if all traffic from that particular internal host could be directed through the same gateway it initiated the connection on, all would work with this website over either ISP and with the load balancing. Looking at tcpdump output, all traffic is standard http. If you have any suggestions on how this might be accomplished, or have any insight as to why this is happening, please respond. Thanks, don..
