Good Afternoon,

I have a 2.0 and 1.3 pfSense firewall (one in each of 2 buildings) and these 
are joined via an IPSec link.  We now have a layer 2 connection between them as 
well.  If the IPSec link is disabled on both sides traffic traverses the Layer 
2 link (which is good).  So here is my questions.


1.       How can I make some of the traffic (backups for example) always use 
the layer 2 link and never use the IPSec link (layer 2 has no usage counter, 
IPSec does).  This would also mean both sets of traffic would flow faster 
because of no competition from the other data.  It seems the IPSec link has a 
higher priority than the layer 2 that I can't seem to find or alter.


2.       If only one side of the IPSec tunnel goes down the traffic coming from 
the side that is up still tries (unsuccessfully) to use the IPSec link.  
Traffic on the side with the failed or disabled IPSec link correctly goes to 
the layer 2 link (how can I get both sides to recognize the link is down)?  
Right now if my WAN link on one side fails I can send traffic from this site to 
the other but not the reverse.

I am guessing both answers are probably fairly obvious which is why I can't see 
them for looking.

Thanks,

Ron
