Hello All,

I have a 10.0.0.0/8 network with a firewall on 10.0.0.1 connected to the
internet through a fiber optics cable (subnet: 200.231.20.0/24);

this firewall has a rule to direct traffic coming to 200.231.20.38:80 to
a webserver on 10.0.0.5:80;

the webserver at 10.0.0.5 has 10.0.0.1 as its GATEWAY;

now I intend to add a second firewall on 10.0.0.2 that will be connected
to the internet through another connection on a DSL modem (subnet:
200.162.30.0/24);

this second firewall will direct traffic coming to 200.162.30.10:80 to
the same webserver on 10.0.0.5:80;

my question is:

if a connection is made from the internet to 200.162.30.10:80, can I be
sure that the outgoing packets of this connection will be sent thru the
second firewall (10.0.0.2) ?

TIA!
