Stumped on a dual wan config issue ...

Here's the setup:

EFW - 3 nics:
wan1 = cable isp, fixed wan ip
wan2 = adsl isp, fixed wan ip
lan1

lan devices:
server1 = live webserver, fixed ip, forward ports 80, 443 from wan1
server2 = dr webserver, fixed ip
client1 = fixed lan ip
voip modem = fixed ip, forward ports 5004, 5060-5061 from wan2, route outbound to wan2

wan1 is 10 Mb down, 1Mb up. ISP blocks voip modem (since it's not their voip service) and all p2p traffic.
wan2 is 4 Mb down, .5Mb up. No traffic restrictions.

So far:

1. Got dual wan working - works great.
2. Got voip working - inbound on wan2, outbound on wan2 - works great.

I want to have client1 to use wan2 for p2p traffic.  It can use wan1 for everything else.  If necessary client1 could use wan2 exclusively but would like to avoid this.

I have set up a route for client1 outbound p2p ports to use wan2.  However this does not seem to work.  I'm not sure if it's because when I click on a torrent link in my client1 web browser, I'm on wan1 and utorrent tries to use wan1 for the download.

I then tried to add a route for client1 outbound http to any address to use wan2 but then cannot connect to the internet from client1.

I'm thinking the solution is straighforward only I don't know what it is.  I am really happy that EFW could do the dual wan which I thoguht would be tough.  So I'm just left with sending all the p2p traffic to wan2 to figure out.

Any ideas would really be appreciated.  I'm stumped.

Thanks for the help.

I suspect your problem is utorrent is using the IP it has connected from. You could try setting up another pc with a fixed IP and forcing it to use wan2 for all internet access. If you do not have a physical computer to use, use a virtual computer such ms virtual pc or vmware player.
