Watchguard Firebox Peak - Force traffic through a specific connection?

am 08.03.2007 06:41:58 von Barule Technologies

Looking for some help with a Watchguard Firebox X Peak 5500 e-Series
firewall. I've just started working with a new company, and they have
the 5500 on their network. Attached to the box are a T-1 Line, Cable
Modem connection, and DSL connection. They are configured for outbound
connections in a round-robin mode, which I'm told is for load
balancing.
There is a web-based app that has some session-specific components,
which often loses the connection and resets the client session, as
when this happens, the system typically grabs a different circuit than
what was originally being used.
We're looking to force all traffic to this resource, which is a single
host on port 80, through one pipe only. Prior to my arrival, some
attempts were made to Deny access to the host on port 80 to two of the
connections, but it did not work. I don't know if the config on that
attempt was correct, as I didn't see it.
Thanks.

I love solving my own problems... :)
We setup a route to the host through a specific pipe (Cable Modem),
and all traffic went through properly.
