a Static Route with Destination 10.10.0.0 /24 on WAN 2, Distance 5If you try to enter this route you' ll find that it already exists: the Metro link is directly connected and thus not routed. Just leave it out. The suggested routes on the Office FGT will not provide for redundant internet access. You need 2 DEFAULT routes for that. One will point to the Cable port interface (WAN2) and the other to the Colo interface (WAN1). Lower distance on the route to WAN2 to give it priority. On the Colo side you can do the same to obtain internet access redundancy - but that was not your primary intention. Leading the internet reply traffic back to the Office does not demand a route, both (locally distant) subnets are ONE and hosts will be found by ARPing. You don' t need policy routing here at all, not even for piping traffic to the servers through the Metro link. That' s because of the same point - you' re not routing at all between locations. Otherwise, yes, you would have needed a policy route.
