How to change outgoing IP address?

[kcerb]

Hello, I have 5 external IP`s addresses from my ISP. I added those addresses to WAN1 interface. I have several servers in DMZ (e.g. mail server), whose services are accessible from the outside. I created the appropriate VIP addresses and traffic from Internet to DMZ goes to the correct servers. But all the servers from DMZ and LAN internet users go from one address (primary WAN1 address). How can I set different external IP address for outgoing servers traffic?

I was looking poorly... :) HERE is the solution.

If your VIP does not use port mapping, then the server will answer on the same IP address that' s set up in the VIP. With port mapping, you will have to use an IP pool to return traffic with the same IP address.

Thanks, I used an IP pool because in VIP I have set a port.

Have you had an issue with network connection going down when you have set up the IP pool overload one IP address?

When I create it, it the server internet connection goes down.

This may happen if you set the IP address as the main IP address on the interface. There really is no need to do that, just check off the NAT option and you're done.

OmG it is working! Whoa, that was amazing.

Thank you very much and regards!

No problem. Been there, done that, and have handfuls of hair to prove it. Mark the post, since it helped. That way others will know that the info was good.
