Hi All, I have a network with a WAN interface (fairly slow DSL), and LAN interface that goes across a point-to-point wireless link to head office which has a much faster fiber WAN connection. I would like all traffic to go via head office, with the DSL link as a backup. My two starting points are: Configure the link to head office as WAN, but then what do I do with LAN traffic that is going across the same link? And the destination heartbeat which won't work on WAN? Configure the link to head office as LAN, but then how do I make sure WAN traffic is protected? And what about failover? Any suggestions? I'm not using destination heartbeat at this time so if that didn't work I could live with it. Thanks James

WAN lies on the other side of a LAN interface
