Scenario:

Two office branches in different towns linked across a 100mb BT Short Haul Data Services connection.

Both buildings are:

Draytek Vigor 2930
WAN1 ADSL line
WAN2 Short Haul Data Services 100mb connection

Those connections can obviously be swapped if required.

How can I route traffic so that clients in building 1 browse the web through building 1's ADSL line ?

Ditto for building 2.

Basically the 100mb BT Short Haul Data Services connection provides a fast site-to-site link for VOIP/IP phones (with QoS) and client/server file access.

I want each branch to only access the internet through their own ADSL line.

Site-to-site VPN through Short Haul Data Services for file access and each branch has its own web connection.

Anyone have any ideas how to achieve this ?

Yeah, go to the load balance policy section under the routers configuration page.

There, enter a rule at the top which forces port 80 traffic (http) to use WAN1. You might also want to consider adding a second rule to force 443 (https) down WAN1 as well.

Simple, when you know how ?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it under test conditions before attempting to use it in anger
