Good day,
What is the difference, when creating a Central DNAT VIP policy in Fortimanager, between "Static NAT" type and "Load balance" type?
The documentation is a bit sparse...
Thanks.

This is more about FortiGate configuration than FortiManager, here's some relevant documentation for you:

"The difference between static-nat and load-balance is that load-balance is used to balance the traffic between different Servers behind a FortiGate.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for the response.
I've had no issue distinguishing between the two and working with them on FortiGate but it seems to be different in FortiManager. I see no way of implementing Virtual Servers on FortiManager. The "load balance" option does not expose any functionality for multiple "inside" servers.
It might be worth opening a TAC ticket for this.
I checked 6.4.7 and 7.0.4 VM's, Load Balance type didn't show up in 6.4 GUI but can be defined by installing a script to the ADOM DB. It looks like this was added in 7.0.
I only see options for configuring a single external IP/range but this applies to both FMG and FGT GUI.
