RED on UTM with two Uplinks

MM1985
Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the RED on UTM configuration...again ;-)

The setup I have with connecting UTM to UTM using RED connections works fine so far.
However, on one of the remote sites that connect to my central UTM, I have two internet uplinks. One is an ADSL line with lower bandwidth and the second one is a SDSL line with somewhat higher bandwidth. 
I would like to have the RED connection to be established using the SDSL line in the first place and use the ADSL line only as a fallback. 
How can this be done? Can I simply use multipath rules on the box and tell that any connection going out on one of the interfaces of the remote box using the RED ports should go out using the SDSL line?

Thanks.
best regards
Martin

    The RED technology is such that it's the RED that "calls" the UTM, so you can't use Multipathing in the UTM to do what you want.  You need an FQDN for the RED to use with a very short TTL that is updated when it should call one public IP instead of the other.  There are companies that provide this service.

    Cheers - Bob
