Thanks for your help, I am really just trying to understand what would drive the MX to use WAN 2 if WAN 1 is healthy and available.

I have 6 additional filters that use the same Uplink Selection policy. I just did not include them as they would show the vendor I am working with. The test was based on the fact that I could not reach the destination via Primary Uplink WAN 1 which was whitelisted at the destination. As soon as I whitelisted Uplink WAN 2 at the destination my devices communicated.

I have an additional list of Traffic Filters that contain Internet destinations I want to reach for voice traffic. I didn't include those as they would show the vendor I am working with. The one destination that I did not have Prefer WAN 1 was using WAN 2. I would have thought it would use WAN 1 as it is defined as the Primary uplink regardless of the Traffic Filter. My ultimate question is "Why did the MX decide to use WAN 2"

John, That is the behavior I would expect, however the one Internet Block I did not have in my Traffic Filter was going over WAN 2 and my Global Preferences were set to Primary Uplink of WAN 1 and load balancing. I proved this out by whitelisting WAN 2 at the destination end. I am trying to figure out why the MX decided to send traffic over WAN 2 instead of my Primary Uplink of WAN 1.

I am using Custom Expressions with a Uplink Selection Policy of "Prefer WAN 1. Fail over if poor performance" with a Traffic Filter for one VLAN to multiple internet destinations. Once this is in place can WAN 1 reach any internet destinations not included in the rules? My feeling is, it is just a preference and should not Block internet traffic not included in the rules. I hopes this makes sense, please let me know if you need anymore information.
