Re: Dynamic Default Gateway??

Don't make routing decisions at the Hosts. Make routing decisions at the
LAN Routers,...which you won't have in a single-subnet lan,...so that idea
is out.

With high-quality firewall devices (like MS ISA Server) you can tell it to
make the incomming request "appear to come from the Firewall instead of
actual client" which will solve the problem because the Target Host will
reply back to where it "thinks" the request came from. But you cannot do
this with most products and you certainly can't do it with "home user"
quality products you buy off the consumer retail shelf.

The best solution is to have one fast Internet connection instead of three
slower ones.

I see. Does anyone know of any 3rd party tool that can help me out here?
Even with all routers as default gateways, with the same metrics, windows
will still not choose the one where the request came from.

No, there is not any way to do that with Windows. Traffic is routed
based on its destination. What you are trying to do is route the traffic
based on its source (ie where it can from, not where it is going to).

Yes but is there a workaround to achieve what I'm trying to do here? Is
this an impossible scenario?

Hello Sergio,

That's normal. You can not configure more then one DG.

I have a server with access to 3 gateways to the internet on it's
internal network. I wanted to serve clients connecting through each
router (with port redirection and no vpns) but I can only connect to
the server from a remote client if using the router that's configured
as the server's default gateway.

I guess that since the replies will go back to the client with a
potentially different ip (the server's default gateway), the reply is
discarded and the connection isn't made.

First of all, am I correct to assume this? And second, is there any
way to force the server to use a "dynamic" gateway, depending on where
the incoming requests come from?
