Hello, 

do you deploy by any means ADSL from different providers? We had this scenario 
and the problem is that lot's of companies (gMail, hotmail, msn, ms-technet, 
etc.) do use CDN's with different access points for different providers. Now 
when you get to http traffic, in our case it happend that some requests went 
through provider one, and some requests (images, etc.) to the CDN with IPs for 
provider one over provider two, and voila, web hangs because those IPs are not 
accessible over provider two. 

What we had to do is limit ADSL lines in the same group to the same provider. 
If that's not an option you can do some rule based routing and say group of 
users x use adsl x, y use adsl y. and you can do failover groups to protect 
against outage, but, at least with my knowledge, that's about it ... 

best regards, 
Raimund

Subject: [pfSense] Multiwan Round Robin - http traffic slow and sometimes 
failing 









Hi all, 


I have an issue with our pfsense install I am hoping someone might be able to 
help me with. 

Out current set up is we have three wan connections all running over adsl. 
These three wan settings are configured in a gateway group with each interface 
having been assigned a DNS server (Google Publin DNS x 2 and BT Name server x 
1). Each interface is tier 1 in the gateway group 

In the Gateway status all interfaces are showing as up and in diagnostics a 
ping to 8.8.8.8 is successful from each interface. 

Ping traffic and even SIP traffic will pass out the pfsense device without 
issue using the multiwan setup, I can see this in the states table. 

However, http traffic is slow to respond and sometimes just fails completely. I 
have checked and none of the interfaces are configured as default but when I go 
into the shell and run netstat -r I can see that the wan interface is down as 
default. 

We are using 2.0.2-RELEASE (i386)/FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p13 


Does anyone have any ideas on why this would be happening to http traffic ?
