I have an Acid (40526) server with an rtcm for radio connection. The mikrotik router has 3 wan connections with the acid server connected to its lan ports as well as the rtcm. My problem is that the registration requests appear to go out an arbitrary wan port rather than the one I want it to use.
I try to force it to use a particular wan by assigning a routing mark based on its ip and then have the desired wan with the same routing mark. This approach works for splitting workstations and servers among the wan’s but the asterisk registration process ignores it.
iax2 registration shows it as perceived as one of the other wans and is not consistent.
traceroute from asterisk server shows it using the desired wan.
From what you describe, this isn't an Asterisk/AllStar problem at
all--your router is load balancing across multiple Internet (WAN)
connections.
You need to add a source route for the IP address of your Asterisk server
that guarantees that your router always uses the proper WAN connection for
this host.
I recommend finding a -local- MikroTik network guru. The problem with
working on this kind of stuff remotely is that, with one accidental
misstep, you're down and they can't get back in. Oops!

Well, I have to admit, I wasn’t sure whether this was the right forum either. My network has 3 flaky wifi wan’s and the routing mark/distance settings have allowed for a simple failover system. routing marks are applied by the firewall based on ip’s and works great for everything but the connection from the allstar server to the rtcm or registration server. Other connections from the allstar server work corrrectly and honor the marks, (ssh, telnet, http, etc…)
All this leads me to believe there is something different about the allstar arrangement that I haven’t clued into. I also tried applying the routing marks based on mac but no luck there either. Perhaps port and protocol as well? As you suggest, I will try a mikrotik group
Thanks,
Ross.

Maybe it’s not marking UDP packets? All the other protocols you listed are TCP. If you want to test another UDP protocol maybe try TFTP. The server side will tell you what IP has hit it.

There is a little thing to know about MikroTik routers and AllStar registration. It took me a long time to sort this out and I almost gave up on MikroTik. But don’t despair they are really good routers.
You have to have both the out-interface and the in-interface set properly on the masquerade rule. If you forget the out interface the AllStar registration packets go to all interfaces. That really confuses Asterisk if you have AllStar on more then one interface.
Let me know if the attached screen shot doesn’t come through.
