You can't specify what interface it goes through, it just goes via whichever interface is closer to the mail server per the routing table. If the mail server is on the LAN subnet, it'll go out the LAN. If your mail server's hostname resolves to a public IP on the box itself and you don't have split DNS, that could lead to issues with mail being unreachable via public IPs hosted on that system that's trying to send. > The main reason I ask this, which is another problem, is every time I make a > change to the interface (on the backup router, using carp, and failover > dhcp) the WAN gateway goes offline.
