Special load distribution handling for encrypted connections

With the configuration now complete, IP sessions are distributed half and half to the two xDSL lines. This behaviour can lead to problems and losses of connection with certain protocols (e. g. encrypted HTTPS connections). The reason for these connection problems lies in the different Internet IP address of the two xDSL connections. With parallel connections to the same server, the two xDSL lines would be used alternately. To get around this difficulty, IP sessions that are associated can temporarily be connected to one of the Internet connections. This type of critical connection is configured in the Special Session Handling menu.

Go to the Network->Load Balancing->Special Session Handling->New menu.

Network->Load Balancing->Special Session Handling->New

Proceed as follows:

Under Description enter a name for the entry, e.g. https ein.
Under Service select http (SSL) .
The Special Handling Timer should be set to 900 seconds.
Leave the remaining settings unchanged and confirm them with OK.
Click New again.

Network->Load Balancing->Special Session Handling->New

State a Description for the entry, e.g. ssh .
Select Service ssh .
The Special Handling Timer should be set to 900 seconds.
Leave the remaining settings unchanged and confirm them with OK.
