Guidelines

The destination-routing command controls how the appliance determines the route to return the response to the originating client. The route to return the response is the outbound packet. The originating client is the destination of the outbound packet.

• When enabled, interface selection is based on the best path to the client, irrespective of the service or receiving interface. The best path is determined by static routes that are bound to the available interfaces.
  Note: Destination-based routing is for compatibility with an earlier version only. Enable destination-based routing only if an upgrade disables existing connectivity.
• When disabled, the default, interface selection is based on the interface that is bound to the address of the service that generated the response.
  • If the service is bound to a single address, responses are routed through the interface that is assigned to that address.
  • If the service is bound to multiple addresses, responses are routed through the receiving interface instead of the interface for the service that generated the response.
