[pfSense] MultiWAN: one for Skype and the other for the rest of the traffic

[Danny]

Hi,

I´m trying to setup a pfsense 2.0 firewall connected to 2 DSL routers.

The purpose is to send Skype traffic via one DSL, and the rest of the
traffic, via the other one.

Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Every PC located on local LAN could use skype so is not possible filter by
source.

Thanks
Best Regards

because skype uses basically random ports and random ips until it can establish 
a connection that is pretty hard.

If you think about it the other way, send skype out the default, then make a 
policy route for all the normal traffic like http and such you can indentify.

Note that this will not cover all cases since Skype will also use port 80 and 
443 if it has the chance which means it will go out the other direction too.

Cheers,
