Policy-Based Routing (PBR) on a Juniper ScreenOS Firewall

The requirement at the customers site was to forward all http and https connections through a cheap but fast DSL Internet connection while the business relevant applications (mail, VoIP, ftp, …) should rely on the reliable ISP connection with static IPv4 addresses. I am showing the five relevant menus to configure PBR on the ScreenOS GUI.

Policy Based Forwarding (PBF) on a Palo Alto Firewall

Since I ran into two problems with this simple scenario, I am showing the solutions here.

[UPDATE] I also wrote an article about policy based forwarding with two different virtual routers on the Palo Alto firewall. See it here.[/UPDATE]
