Hi folks:

Have pfSense 2.0.1 stable installed on a machine we are using for testing. 2x em network ports. Have em0 configured as WAN with IP 10.100.241.121/16, and em1 configured as LAN with IP 192.168.3.1/16.

I can reach the LAN port with ssh/others easily. No issues. I turned on ICMP response on the WAN, and can ping that as well.

Ok. Want to set up a simple external port forward from WAN->LAN (specific IP on LAN). Logged in through GUI, and set this up

WAN     TCP     *       *       WAN net 22 (SSH)        192.168.1.171   22 (SSH)

This host uses a different default gateway ... 192.168.1.1/16 . I can (and have) set up a virtual machine on the 192.168.3.0/16 net using the 3.1 machine as a gateway, and redirected ssh there. This works, fine as it turns out.

My question is, how (if at all) can I configure pfSense to handle the case where it isn't the primary gateway? That is, its being used as a router for external traffic, but the primary gateway is on a different router. Do I need to add a specific route back on the client side, or is this something pfSense can automagically handle?
