LinkSys RV042 Dual WAN Router: Utilize backup link in Smartlink mode

linksysload balancingrouting

I have a LinkSys RV042 Dual Wan Router in my office. I am using it in smartlink mode, so that when primary fails, the backup link takes over.

The problem is that backup link is highly under-utilized. I have a dev machine that periodically replicates data from a production server. I would like to route all of this dev's machine's traffic through the backup link. Is it possible?

If you put the RV042 in Load Balancing mode, you can set it to send traffic from an IP address or service over a specific WAN interface. You can find more details in this Cisco support doc (you might need to register before you can view it)
