ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual Inbound Traffic: Dual WAN Ports for Improved Reliability In the dual WAN port case with rollover (Figure C-5), the WAN's IP address will always change at rollover. A fully-qualified domain name must be used that toggles between the IP addresses of the WAN ports (i.e., WAN1 or WAN2). Figure C-5 Inbound Traffic: Dual WAN Ports for Load Balancing In the dual WAN port case for load balancing (Figure C-6), the Internet address of each WAN port is either fixed if the IP address is fixed or a fully-qualified domain name if the IP address is dynamic. Note: Load balancing is implemented for outgoing traffic and not for incoming traffic. Consider making one of the WAN port Internet addresses public and keeping the other one private in order to maintain better control of WAN port traffic.
