Port Routing with two gateways is it possible

[Guest]

Hi
Is there a way to choose the gateway based on the tcp port of the packet , for example I have default gateway on the w2k box of 192.1.1.1 but for all traffic for port 53 I need It to route via gateway 192.1.1.2 .

Thanks in advance

Regard

Adam

No, this is not possible. Actually multiple gateways is unsupported and
does not work in a majority of scenarios. The only time It helps to have
multiple gateways is with TCP Dead Gateway Detection, or you are using the
ICMP Router Discovery Protocol

You can route by IP address. If all the port 53 traffic was to go to a
particular IP address or IP subnet, you could use a static route to send it
to the alternate gateway. You could add the route to every client, or simply
add it to the default gateway to redirect the traffic.
