Route marking in OS7.04

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi,
I need help with route marking in OS7.04. I have problems with establishing TCP connections (http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/avoiding-double-nat-fritzbox-ccr2004/153528/16) and most likely a dual WAN setup is the reason.

Setup is as following:

ISP1 → Fritzbox1 (192.168.176.1/24) —> WAN1 Mikrotik (192.168.176.254 // 192.168.178.1/24)
ISP2–> Fritzbox2 (192.168.179.1/24) —> WAN2 Mikrotik (192.168.179.254 // 192.168.178.1/24)

Routes are like that:

/ip route
add disabled=no distance=1 dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=192.168.176.1
pref-src=“” routing-table=main scope=30 suppress-hw-offload=no
target-scope=10

add disabled=no distance=2** dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=192.168.179.1
pref-src=“” routing-table=main scope=30 suppress-hw-offload=no
target-scope=10

** I want to have both routes on equal cost (distance of second route =1)

Mangle rules for each wan (this is wan1) would be:
/routing table * I have a few duplicated entries from failed tries and don’t know how to delete them
add name=ISP1
add name=ISP1
add fib name=ISP1
add fib name=ISP_fib

/ip firewall mangle
add action=mark-connection chain=prerouting connection-state=new disabled=yes**
in-interface=ether1 new-connection-mark=ISP1 passthrough=yes
add action=mark-routing chain=prerouting connection-mark=ISP1 disabled=yes**
new-routing-mark=ISP_fib passthrough=yes

**i will enable it then of course

So now is the question how to set a route, so that all marked traffic leaves out of the gateway it came from.

Likely better to post this in the V7 BETA section of the forum.

So you dont want load balancing???

I do. But how else would you set it up? If I have the same distances for both gateways and request for example a connection on http port 80 over ISP1, the request goes in to WAN1 and leaves through WAN2 (that’s what the dst-nat log told me). So no connection can be established.
Load balancing isn’t that important but failover is. If I understand how to set up a specific route for marked routes I can work on failover. Unfortunately the examples I found where all for ROS6 and gave error messages for ROS7. I figured out how to get the route marking commands working for OS7 but how to set up a route?
like this: everything with routing mark XY in table XY use gateway ether1
everything with routing mark ZA in table ZA use gateway ether2
I need the traffic to leave through the gateway it came in from.

noone?
