Multipath Rules vs Static Routing (Policy Routes) ?

UweT
Dear Experts,

We have 3x Internet access lines using Uplink Balancing.

We are using services for online file storage accessed by WebDAV (HTTPS) mostly.

I want do force all the traffic on HTTPS to destination i.e. "PROVIDER.com" to go over our dedicated line (same upload and download), let's call it "line1".

What is the best strategy in performance regarding the Astaro overload? And what is the difference in between?:

a) using Interfaces&Routing > Static Routing > Policy Rules (Any>Any>HTTPS>provider.com>interface "line1")

or

b) using Interfaces&Routing > Interfaces > Multipath Rules (Any>HTTPS>provider.com>line1)

Thank you in advance!
Uwe

    Using a Multipath rule, you can "bind" such traffic to a specific interface.  The advantage to this with Uplink Balancing is that the traffic will fail over to another interface if the first connection goes down.

    IMHO, everyone with more than a single internet connection should be using Uplink Balancing with Multipath rules.  Having said that, the "old" way, with routing and NAT, still works.

    Cheers - Bob
