FortiGate 60D load balance RDS Gateway 2012R2

Hi all.

I'm planning to implement 2012R2 RDS Gateway. The main reason is the speed benefit (over 2008R2 Gateway). My current setup is 2 x 2008R2 gateway server behind a FortiGate 60D. I load balance (virtual server) port 443 for those 2 GW servers Virtual server settings are:

type: tcp,

Load Balance Method: least session,

persistance: none.

 

So my question is, how to change the virtual server/load balancer to load balance https and UDP3391 required for the speed enhancement??

Ty for all for the great advice, they were really helpfull :).

So, i went and tried some things on my own and it was a 50% success. 2012R2 GW does indeed provide better user experience (read: is faster) but i was not successfull in just putting 2 2012R2 GW in the place of the 2008R2 GWs so they can both work in the same time (least session LB). I had to put one real server as active and the other as standby. If i put them as active with the same weight (or least session) i get a connection error and i see that both GWs got "pinged" by the connection.

 

I know the 60D is not a top class router with enterprise LB capabilities but it's what i have, so if anyone can be of some assistance, i would be very grateful.

Really, not even a "this can't be done on your router" or something??
