Hello all,
I created the Virtual Server listed bellow so I can do a simple Load Balance.
The interface "DMZ_PRO_LINK" is included into a zone named "DMZ_PRODUCAO".
The problem is when I try to create the policy to allow the traffic I only have the option to set the zone and when I set the zone the Virtual Server object "LB_VS_PORTALINTRANET" is not listed in the destination address field (dstaddr).
I tried the CLI and the results were the same.
Anybody else already tried this?
Any suggestion?
Enviroment:
FGT-311B
Cluster: 2 nodes A-P
Firmware Version: v5.0,build0292 (GA Patch 9)
Operation Mode: NAT

I am working on load balancing rules with a tech.
We removed WAN load balancing and are working on policy based load balancing
1.) Banks require single sign on (SSO) that stay on same connection for the entire session. We are setting up policies that allow a fail over to the other WAN connection
2.) HTTP and HTTPS can load balance round robin with both connections
3.) QoS rules to allow our Barracuda backup device to throttle up and down bandwidth based on lower priority rules.
Barracuda did load balancing on each policy. You could have load balance or fail over rules on each policy. Fortinet seems to be all or nothing with WAN load balancing. I will report back when we are done.
