17.1 Legacy Series / Firewall:Aliases:View
February 01, 2017, 01:56:52 AM
Hi all,

Can anyone explain the alias section, where you can enter multiple IP addresses for a single alias?
How does this work?
If I add one alias called "MyWebServers", and then I add four different IP's for 4 internal web servers, and then I create a firewall (NAT) rule,  for example  port 80 on WAN to internal LAN alias MyWebServers.

What happens here when someone enters www-our.site-com via WAN address? Does it do round robin to all four aliased servers? Does it do  failover, or what?

As far as I know, an alias would be one-to-one to an IP address, but not to multiple IPs.

Thanks
