Remote desktop gateway routing


hi have couple of questions regarding remote desktop gateway , network paths.

i have  a scenario main domain spread out in different offices , different ip ranges. offices connected via 8 mbit vpn tunnels , working expected.

now have separate servers specialiced software running in own routable domain. these in hosted eviroment. these servers using windows 2012 rds gateway connections.  all users have been connecting these servers long time. everything here working expected.

by luck able connect these 2 enviroments via vlan since 1 of offices , hosting environment using same isp. got 100mbit link between them cheap since link did not need internet access. 

the users in office directly connected hosted servers can use thick clients accessing specialized software , wanted. remaining offices should still go out via internet using rds gateway , not use 8mbit vpn tunnels connect rest of offices.

because of trust set make work, dns actual gateway ,  terminal servers replicated in dns.

so if set configuration use gateway when sitting local, have feeling connects rds gateway locally. 

how can check , verify this? 

the "farm name" , "rds website" ip adresses have been edited in dns external ip adresses, stated servers behind gateways official ip accessible in local dns.

hi,

if in rds deployment properties have set bypass rd gateway local addresses, remote desktop client connect directly published fqdn via tcp , udp 3389 if possible.  published fqdn name see remote computer: on prompt window when launch remoteapp or full desktop connection rd web access.

for example, if published fqdn rds.domain.com, , reason client unable connect rds.domain.com on tcp 3389 (name not resolvable, firewall blocking port, etc.), client use rd gateway, , connect fqdn on tcp 443/udp 3391.

if uncertain happening recommend capture initial traffic using netmon/wireshark on client pc , examine trace.
