FQDN Policy routing ( FortiOS 5.4.5 )

[rcarreras]

Hi,

I am using WAN Link Load Balancing in order to load balance user's internet traffic through two low cost and high bandwidth FTTH connections. It's working fine. I have a high cost and less bandwith circuit ( but extremely reliable ) that I am using for incoming traffic for internet ( VIP's ), and I would like to use this connection also for some specific user web traffic. I'd like to route through this connection a list of FQDN hosts as destination.

* I think thant we can discard policy routing option as it only works for IP address / networks / ports /... but not FQDN

* I have seen that you can configure WAN LLB rules in order to specify outgoing interface, but I have tried it with FQDN Adress objects and it has not worked.

* I have reviewed this Fortinet KC Article : Technical Note: How to configure FortiGate to perform routing based on specific URLs but I think that it's an old article , and it seems like a messy workaround.

Do you have any recommendation for this issue ?

Best regards,

Ricard

the article you link to seems to be the official way. perhaps you should open a support ticket to see if their our other options.

You have already mentioned two different ways. I am not sure there is a method that has the pros of both methods without the cons.
