2862 - Internal routing was created by jasr2019
Hi,

I can't seem to work out how to do internal routing. I have 2 internal servers and would like the router to choose and either, as long as they are online.

Is this possible?

Maybe it's just me but I'm not clear what you're trying to do. Could you explain in more detail what "choose and either" means?

Sorry, it was a long day and I could have been clearer...lol

I have 2 internal web servers and I use NAT to forward 443 to one of them. If that once goes offline (reboots), can the router point to the second automatically?

I don't think that can be done by the router - it would have no way of detecting that a server had gone offline, and no way of automatically switching a port redirect to another client?

Usually it's the web server doing load balancing/failover, not the firewall/NAT Router in the front. You may check out some free solution like Nginx for your web server high availability. https://www.nginx.com/products/nginx/high-availability/
