Protocol Binding 4.3.3-6 no internet DNS request resolved
SRX5308 with 4.3.3-6 firmware. We have 3 WAN ports in use. WAN1 suddenlink, WAN2 ATT, WAN3 3rd party. All can supply access to the internet and all work correctly when I connect my laptop directly to the port. I want to implement protocol binding in the version. Previous versions I would specify the special protocols to the appropriate WAN ports and then have an all that would cover everything else. WAN1 HTTP traffic, WAN2 SMTP and WAN3 PPTP, then an ANY protocol for WAN1. So this would direct any protocol not specifically specified to WAN1. Well the firmware now will not let you do this. It tells you not allowed to assign duplicate protocol. As soon as I enable load balancing which is required for protocol binding all the my dns request fail. I have reset the system to factory defaults and hand keyed all the settings for the upgrade but it still will not process DNS request when load balancing is enabled. From the diagnostics ping I see returns from the internet so the internet connection is working. I had this working perfectly in my previous firmware version. I took screenshots of the setup before setting the defaults on the unit and upgrading the firmware. When I dont have protocol binding (load balancing) enabled the unit works as expected after a reboot. It is when I enable load balancing when I cannot resolve any DNS request. I have set the defaults and loaded the firmware above 3 times.
