Route to 2 gateways

[slumley]

Can Wingate route traffic to more that one gateway?

I want to route all traffic via wingate to a cascade proxy server except traffic starting with IP adress starting with 196.*.*.*

Can anyone please help me and explain how to do this.

Thanks for you help in advance.

Yes, you can do that - if you add a system route to 196. range through another gateway (see route add).

Sorry to ask, but can you please explain how to do this.

Still not sure what to do?

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry I did not read your initial message carefully - does your client use Wingate as a proxy server?

[genie]

Right. If your client uses proxy server to connect, then you can simply specify non-proxy address 196.*.*.* in the browser's proxy settings. Then the client will use proxy for everything except for this particular address which will be connected to directly.

There might be a way around your problem. Check out this:

If you set two proxies in wingate you can change the actual proxy depending on the destination url.

I have tried to get IE to do this but it ignores IP adresses with stars (*). Try it yourself, you will see that it does not work.

IE will only work with a name or a complete IP adress, not 196.*........

Is there not some where in wingate that i can do this?

Why do I want to do this you ask?

OK, I have two PC's with two DSL accounts.

PC-1 (192.168.0.1)
PC-2 (192.168.0.2)

PC-1 must direct (use) only local traffic (196.*.*.*)
All other traffic must be routed to PC-2. (any other wib site (IP adress)

You can use this function:
isInNet(host, "196.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0")

That's nice, Thanks, But what do i do with that?

Where do i enter it?

[genie]

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (isInNet(host, "196.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0"))
return "DIRECT";
else
return "PROXY w3proxy.netscape.com:8080; DIRECT";
}

Many Many thanks for the help, i have created the pac file and thing appear to be working.

Will do more tests and let you know.

I have used the following:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (isInNet(host, "196.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0"))
return "DIRECT";
else
return "PROXY 192.168.0.2:81; DIRECT";
}

You can confirm if ti looks correct.

Thanks again.

[genie]

Aye, should be fine.

Hi again,

One more twist, what it i want to add a proxy to the local traffic option, the 196.* traffic?

Would it be something like:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (isInNet(host, "196.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0"))
return PROXY 192.168.0.1:80; DIRECT";
else
return "PROXY 192.168.0.2:81; DIRECT";
}

192.168.0.1 : 80 is a proxy on the other PC.

[genie]

Yeap. And you can add other proxies depending on the destination address.

[slumley]

Thanks very much for the help.

Cheers from South Africa.

Dit is my plesier. Waar is jy in Suid Afrika?

Hi again,

I have one more question?

Below is the exact script that i am using, but i was wondering if i could also route the local traffic via a proxy server (proxy is 192.168.0.1:81)


function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (isInNet(host, "196.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0")) return "DIRECT";
if (shExpMatch(url, "https://netbank.nedsecure.co.za*")) return "DIRECT";
else
return "PROXY 192.168.0.2:81; DIRECT";
}

Thanks

[genie]

You sure can - whatever the information you process all you need to do is to return either DIRECT or PROXY reply.

[slumley]

I have tried it but i can not get it to work, could you not show me in my script? Please

[genie]

Hold on a second - what is your browser setting with regards to the local traffic?

[slumley]

I am only using the script, no other settings.

[genie]

Erm... Try adding the line:

if (isInNet(host, "192.168.0.0", "255.255.0.0")) return "PROXY 192.168.0.2:81;";
