Sophos RED-Tunnel between two UTM´s and two active Uplinks - Multipath Rules not working

Hi everybody,

we´ve got the following setup and I´m pretty sure that I´ve discovered a bug in UTM.

We´ve got a SG430 in the headquater and SG115 in the branch-offices.

In the headquater we have two active wired internet connections for internet breakout (uplink balancing)

In the branch-office we have a wired internet connection and additionally a LTE-Connection connected via LTE-Modem over network (ethernet) attachted to the firewall.

We´ve configured two RED-Tunnels (in the branch-office) which point to the public address(es) of the headquater-firewall.

The config is working so far and everything is fine - except the traffic flow. Here´s the error / misbehaviour:

We´ve configured both internet connections in uplink balancing (wired: 100 percent) and LTE: 0 Percent.

Furthermore we´ve implemented two Multipath Rules (Any Source, Any Service, Destination of the public IP´s of the HQ-Firewall) with an Interface Persistance bound to the wired connection of the branch office. - Option "Skip Rule on Interface Error" is enabled -> Aim is to have both connections active, but traffic should normally go through the wired connection and in event of failure switch to the LTE-Connection.

What happend with this setup in place is, that both connections were used for RED-Traffic, although we tried to stick the traffic to the wired connection.

Therefore the traffic-limit of the LTE-Connection has been reached quiet quickly and the performance broke down....

We´ve done a tcpdump on the interface where the LTE-Modem is connected and could see that the RED-Traffic goes through that interface

Here´s an example-output of the dump:

16:01:06.287243 IP gw-xxx.yyy.com.redv2-data > zzz.yyy.com.redv2-data: UDP, length 116

Strange is, that the headquater-firewall in RED-Management says that both RED-Tunnels come from the public IP-Address of the wired connection of the branch-office...

My question is, has anybody an idea how to solve this? Or any hint? - Or is it actually a case for the support...
