ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual The purpose of the fully-qualified domain name is this case is to toggle the domain name of the gateway router between the IP addresses of the active WAN port (i.e., WAN1 and WAN2) so that the remote PC client can determine the gateway IP address to establish or re-establish a VPN tunnel. VPN Telecommuter: Dual Gateway WAN Ports for Load Balancing In the case of the dual WAN ports on the gateway VPN firewall, the remote PC client initiates the VPN tunnel with the appropriate gateway WAN port (i.e., port WAN1 or WAN2 as necessary to balance the loads of the two gateway WAN ports) because the IP address of the remote NAT router is not known in advance. The chosen gateway WAN port must act as the responder. Figure C-20 The IP addresses of the gateway WAN ports can be either fixed or dynamic. If an IP address is dynamic, a fully-qualified domain name must be used. If an IP address is fixed, a fully-qualified domain name is optional. Network Planning for Dual WAN Ports v1.0, March 2009 C-19
