Route policy, two WAN

Hi, I have two ISP connected to a 50B, I would like to route servers through WAN1 and clients through WAN2. The first ISP is connected on wan1 to another router. I configured a route, and the other one is configured in PPOE with option " retrieve default Gateway" . Servers and clients are on the same subnet. I tried to configure a route Policy for one server, a default route through WAN2 and a route with an higher cost. As route Policy are prioritary I though that my route Policy would have been matched so It would match the route with the lowest cost. Then I tried with two route Policy : one for server and other one for clients. But the problem remain the same... Anybody can help?

You also will need two policies and two static routes... The distance on both routes should be the same, but like you stated, the priorities may be different. Policy routes merely alter the way traffic is routed from the norm. They override static routes, but do not replace them.

So the best way to do is to : - Uncheck " retrieve default Gateway from server" on wan2 Interface configuration, - To let default values for Initial Disc Timeout and Initial PADT Timeout - To enter the same value for wan1 on distance - To make a static route with the same distance and lower priority for wan2? - To make two routing Policy (the first one for the server, and the other one for clients)? Note : Wan2 will be my internet interface for clients.

The distance will be set even when retrieving from the interface (WAN2), just match it with the second static route. You will only need a policy route for traffic you do not wish to go through the default gateway.
