Port Redirection to 2 Internal servers

Hi All

I have a Draytek 3900 running latest firmware (1.2.0) and wondering if its possible to have a port mapping from external to internal to more than one internal server.

For example lets take HTTPS (TCP 443)

Internet > Public Static IP on Draytek 3900 > Port Redirection to 2 internal servers (192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2)

Both 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 have the Draytek 3900 as their default gateway

Ideally some sort of round robin/load balance function so if one of the internal servers was down/offline the port redirection would go to the other one.

I could stick a proper load balancer inbetween the Draytek and the internal servers but if the draytek can do it natively, then all the better.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Andy

Anyone?

Can you load balance to internal (LAN) servers as apposed to load balancing the WAN side of the Drayteks?

Thanks

I don't think there's any facility to do that; it's a quite unusual requirement. I'm not sure one
would expect the router to load balance the servers typically.

Thanks Admin,

I figured as much and I can always drop a Load balancer in the middle so its not the end of the world, just trying to avoid another "hop" if we could
