Hi All,

I am using RB750 with Dual WAN load balancing, using PCC and mangle, and it is working fine for a few weeks now. I would however like to add static routes to certain websites/IPs so that they always connect via the desired ISP. Assuming that the website address is 1.1.1.1 and ISP1 gateway address is 2.2.2.2 i add the following route
Route showed up as active however the traffic to the website was still being routed via ISP2 ( I checked via traceroute from my PC). I also tried after adding the routing mark for ISP1 to the route but to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated to resolve this issue.

You can use a mangle rule, placed just before the two rules that sends packets from WAN1_conn or WAN2_conn to WAN1 or WAN2. You can use a destination address or a destination list.

Rule to add ****
add action=mark-connection chain=prerouting comment=Netflix dst-address-list=\
netflix-ips dst-address-type=!local in-interface=3LAN \
new-connection-mark=WAN1_conn


Just before these rules ****
add action=mark-routing chain=prerouting connection-mark=WAN1_conn \
in-interface=3LAN new-routing-mark=to_WAN1 passthrough=no
add action=mark-routing chain=prerouting connection-mark=WAN2_conn \
in-interface=3LAN new-routing-mark=to_WAN2 passthrough=no


I hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick reply Bob, I guessed that I would need to fiddle with the mangle rules while i was writing my post and your solution also points in that direction. Sadly my ISP1 is down and I have been unable to verify the solution but will update once i get the chance.

Hi Bob,

My ISP1 finally came up and I was able to test the solution successfully. Thanks again.
