AW: [pfSense Support] Multiple WANs, different routes but not fail over?

2006-01-31 Thread Holger Bauer 
You are talking about policy based routing. pfSense can do this kind of 
routing. Configure the WAN interface with the PPPoE-settings and one of your 
OPTx interfaces with the static settings of the other line. Don't forget to 
enter the gateway there.
Then check out your firewall rules at you LAN interface. Create pass rules 
adressing the traffic you were speaking about. At the bottom of each rule page 
you find a setting called gateway. Select the desired gateway for that kind 
of traffic and you are done.

 Betreff: [pfSense Support] Multiple WANs, different routes 
 but not fail
 over?
 
 
 Hi guys
 
 Just recently subscribed (today).
 
 I'm from South Africa and I have a situation where the local 
 DSL is not 
 that reliable so we need to install a diginet leased line as well.
 
 The leased line will have a static IP address whilst the DSL will 
 connect via PPPoE and have a dynamic IP address.
 
 Question is, can I use the leased line (static IP) and create a route 
 for all incoming and outgoing email and then redirect this 
 traffic to an 
 internal mail server (sendmail).
 
 All other non critical traffic like 80, 443, 21, etc will be accessed 
 via the DSL line.
 
 Is this scenario possible and what would the default gateway be? I'm 
 guessing the DSL link?
 
 So not a fail over rather a multiple WAN link set-up.
 
 Thanks in advance.
 
 Cheers
 Hilton

Wow, this sounds good to me.

Thanks for that Holger, I'll try it out.
