Routing problems with two public NICs



Hi,


I am administrating a Windows 2003 server with two NICs which both have public IPs.

The IPs have the same ISP and are using same default gateway.


NIC1: aa.bb.cc.12
NIC1 (default gw): aa.bb.cc.1
NIC2: aa.bb.cc.13
NIC2 (default gw): aa.bb.cc.1

NIC1 is supposed to serve only as a webserver and NIC2 for administration purposes and some development.

It seems however that corresponding incoming traffic to NIC2 is outgoing from NIC1.

I have been informed that it is possible to use static routes for NIC2 to enable, for example, VPN-traffic to pass through NIC2 instead of NIC1 (which is the case now).

Is static routes the only solution? Or is it possible to define that incoming traffic also has to be routed out from the very same NIC?


Best regards,
oscar
