178 | Appendix B: Network Planning for Dual WAN Ports
ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336Gv2 Reference Manual
address of the active WAN port always changes. Hence, the use of a fully-qualified domain
name is always required, even when the IP address of each WAN port is fixed.
Figure B-2
Features such as multiple exposed hosts are not supported when using dual WAN port
rollover because the IP addresses of each WAN port must be in the identical range of fixed
addresses.
The Load Balancing Case for Firewalls with Dual WAN Ports
Load balancing for the dual WAN port case is similar to the single WAN port case when
specifying the IP address. Each IP address is either fixed or dynamic based on the ISP:
fully-qualified domain names must be used when the IP address is dynamic and are optional
when the IP address is static.
Figure B-3 Load Balancing Case for Firewalls with Dual WAN Ports
Inbound Traffic
Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally discarded by the firewall unless the traffic is a
response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Inbound
Rules menu. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have it forwarded to one or more LAN
hosts on your network.
