Problem with RV042 Outgoing Dual-WAN Load Balance

I'm using a Linksys Dual-WAN RV042 router. When it is set to Load
Balance, HTTPS sessions will be randomly be kicked out. When I set it
to Smart Link Backup, the HTTPS sessions work fine.

I do not want to use Smart Link Backup, so I would like to discover a
way around this.

I know that this is a semi-common issue with Dual-WAN routers. And I
also know that the answer will ultimately lie in forwarding all
outgoing HTTPS traffic to a particular WAN port. I'm running a Squid
proxy, so any sort of per-client/per-ip solution will not be an option.

I've been looking in the web-based config interface for the router, and
I can't find any option to direct outgoing traffic from a particular
service to a specific WAN port. Am I missing something?

Hi Mark,
When you have Load Balance enabled, you can Bind Ports to either WAN1
or WAN2.
This may help you.
