    Hi,

    As far as I know, setting up two IPSec VPN connections between the same two routers is not the way to go.

    It's not going to work because the VPN policies will conflict each other ("the destination subnet foo must go through the VPN bar" rule must be unique).

    To configure this properly, you need to use rollover inside the VPN policy, on both side. And because you can only set one IP address as remote endpoint, you must use an FQDN.

    The roll-over option determines which WAN interface use as outbound, and the FQDN as remote endpoint determines which remote IP address is used for the communication.
