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

    Remember that WebAdmin is a GUI that creates a database that confd reads to create the command line instructions that determine how the UTM does things.  RED is an in-bound connection, so you would need a failover DNS service to get it to come in via your second ISP.

    I still think you'd be better off with Uplink Balancing and Interface-persistent Multipath rules.

    Cheers - Bob
