This is a theory question for Merlin:

If I have two Internet connections and load balancing enabled, is it possible to only direct traffic via routing rules and not have any other load balancing?

i.e. All traffic goes out connection 1, while only traffic I've specifically defined via routing rules goes out of connection 2. My specific need is to have all clients use connection 1, and only my VOIP server use connection 2 (basically dedicate connection 2 to it)

This is just a theory question, I'm not using this configuration but may in the future.

Love your firmware. Thanks in advance.
 
DualWAN routing rules only for external traffic redirects.

if you want redirect internal traffic than you must use routing rules based on source routing.

on Merlin firmware you can add rules to (for example) to init-start script
example:

ip route add rule from <VOIP server address> table 100 prio 100
ip route add gw <second wan ip address> table 100

all traffic from your internal VOIP server ridericted to second wan.
