Timeout
Select this option to have the ZyWALL send all of a local computer’s traffic through
the same WAN interface for the period of time that you specify (1 to 600 seconds).
This is useful when a redirect server forwards a local user’s request for a file and
informs the file server that a particular WAN IP address is requesting the file. If the
user’s subsequent sessions came from a different WAN IP address, the file server
would deny the request.
