PLANET MH-1000 - Manual (Page 16)

Multi-Homing Security Gateway User’s Manual
In the above example, an FTP server (IP_192.168.2.2) and an HTTP server (IP_192.168.2.3) are
connected to the Internet via WAN1 (www.planet2.com.tw) and WAN2 (www.planet3.com.tw) on MH-1000.
Remote PCs are attempting to access the servers via the Internet. Using Inbound Load Balancing,
MH-1000 can direct incoming requests to the correct WAN port based on group assignment. For example,
a sales force can be directed to www.planet2.com.tw while the R&D group can access www.planet3.com.tw.
By balancing the load between WAN1 and WAN2, your MH-1000 can ensure that inbound traffic is
efficiently handled with both ports equally sharing the load, preventing situations where service is slow
because one port is completely saturated by inbound traffic.
Please refer to appendix D for example settings.

DNS Inbound is a three step process. First, a DNS request is made to the router via a remote
PC. MH-1000, based on settings specified by the user, will direct the requesting PC to the correct WAN
