Well, I have to admit, I wasn't sure whether this was the right forum either. My network has 3 flaky wifi wan's and the routing mark/distance settings have allowed for a simple failover system.  routing marks are applied by the firewall based on ip's and works great for everything but the connection from the allstar server to the rtcm or registration server.  Other connections from the allstar server work corrrectly and honor the marks, (ssh, telnet, http, etc...)
All this leads me to believe there is something different about the allstar arrangement that I haven't clued into.  I also tried applying the routing marks based on mac but no luck there either.  Perhaps port and protocol as well? As you suggest, I will try a mikrotik group
Thanks,
Ross.

Hi Ross,

>From what you describe, this isn't an Asterisk/AllStar problem at
all--your router is load balancing across multiple Internet (WAN)
connections.

You need to add a source route for the IP address of your Asterisk server
that guarantees that your router always uses the proper WAN connection for
this host.

I recommend finding a -local- MikroTik network guru. The problem with
working on this kind of stuff remotely is that, with one accidental
misstep, you're down and they can't get back in.  Oops!
