Cisco RV042 advance routing

[agoriuq]

Hi to everybody
I´m new to this forum.
I have a Cisco RV042 and would like to know if it´s possible to redirect the output (from a mail server in LAN) of a certain protocol (in my case SMTP port 25) to one of the two WAN. I tryed but didn´t find the way.
Thank you in advance.

Your mailserver should be dns registered and have a fixed IP and needs to be open through your firewall on port 25, lets call that wan1, you can add a second SMTP server, wan2, you will have to add a second SMTP to your mail record out on your dns server with a different weight so that it acts as a secondary. As for setting up fail over thats a bit different. Are both wans on different subnets ? different providers, come in from different directions ?
You can also aggregate them. YOu will have to bind https to one of the wan interfaces though or the SSL sites will kick you off. I know what they say about Cisco RV042's but load balancing I have never seen successfully done. I use an ELFIQ load balancer there that both my fiber lines run into before they hit my firewall. I use on link for customers doing our web sites and the other for outgoing traffic from employees desktops.

Hi
Thanks for your quote
As you said, my mailserver is dns registered, WAN1 has a fixed IP and is open through the firewall on port 25. And works ok with emails
The fact is that the bandwidth is not very good and I got a second very cheap ISP that I wanted to connect to the router in order to increase the bandwith for navigation.
The problem is that as that second WAN does not have a fixed IP when email goes through it, cannot solve and send them.
Do you think there´s any other solution ?

I don't know about your particular issue but I was helping a friend with his Cisco RV042 and we found out quickly that it does not do many of the features I would have thought it would do. We were trying to use virtual interfaces and found out it does not do that. I do a similar port redirection (like you are trying to do) at my house but I am using a Ubiquiti Edgerouter Lite.

Thanks
I realize that I´ll have to use some other solution
