Load Balancing

[Circlenaut]

I have 1 windows server 2008 server at home. I'm running VMware server in it with 2 VMs, one server 2003 and one CentOS. All my torrents are coming out from my server 2003 vm under port x.

This one server is connected to two WANs such as:

wan1---router-- ---vmethernet---
>---Server---< >---VMs under bridge mode
wan2---router-- ---vmethernet---

I want to route all torrent traffic through one wan but keep all other traffic routed through the other wan, is this possible? Any one know a way around this? I tried load balancing under server 2003 but it doesn't seem to apply here or I haven't configured it right.

This can be done in enterprise networks easily.
Since your server is on a SOHO network, you can achieve your goal by making the VMNIC's access ports instead of trunk.

Plug each VMNIC into their respective WAN routers and it should work.
Make sure you use different LAN IP schemes for each segment, and get rid of the bridge mode.
I've never seen anyone doing bridge mode for standalone or VM deployment in production networks...if you can make it work, great.
But I generally don't recommend bridging unless you're talking about wireless...
