Balance 20 not failing over

Hi,
The HTTPS Persistence is used for sessions like online Banking where if the session is spread across different WAN connections you would have to re-login each time the web server sees the traffic coming from a different location.

In most cases the DNS failure can be solved by setting the WAN Health Check method to use a DNS Lookup of Google’s public DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).

Below I have pasted links to Knowledgebase Articles that go into more detail of Outbound Policy and the Health Check mechanisms.

Outbound Policy: Understanding and Configuring Outbound Policy
Health Check: Health Check Mechanisms Against Link Failure

To force traffic to fail over to the second WAN connection you can change the Outbound Policy to use Priority. Priority 1 will send traffic through this WAN connection and when it fails Priority 2 will take over.
