Generic firewall route and interface reporting

hello Team

 

can any one help on the configuration that match my final expectation, i have 2 outside interface on the ASA 5520 (outside and outside2), the default route goes to outside interface.

in my LAN i have 2 different IP range(X.X.X.X/24 and Y.Y.Y.Y/24 ), i want 1 range (X.X.X.X/24) to continue use the default route outside, then other range Y.Y.Y.Y/24 to use 2nd outside interface outside2. 

I tried PBR but not supported on the ASA, 

any other trick of configuration that can reach my expectation ??

 

i attached a sample diagram for your reference.

 

Thanks

One the posts is below wherein this was achieved by someone by playing around with destination NAT to force traffic out the second ISP and it worked for them. Not an ideal solution but it worked for them. After looking at the logic, it seems as a legit workaround(try at your own risk and in a downtime):

Then mentioned NAT-solution can work, but in my eyes it's a terrible hack and should only be used if there is no other way. The "right" way would be to replace the legacy ASA (wich is End of life soon) with an actual ASA-X model where PBR is a supported and working feature. Another way is to keep the two internet-lines in a primary/backup way for outgoing traffic. The NAT solution will add an unnecessary complexity to your config; and complexity is one of the main adversaries of security.

Thank you for replies.

 

but apart from the nat solution, there is no other way on the 5500 ASA legacy, as i am not planning to change to new ASA 5500-X in few years.

If both local subnet have a different behavior to which destinations they connect, you can use traditional routing to route the traffic to the other line. But that's pretty much all you can do.
