[pfSense-discussion] a pair of transparent bridges gotcha
I have a pair of pfsense 1.2.1-RC1 working in a poor man's failover (a parallel pair of transparent bridges). Had a problem with DNS lookup blockage, the problem is that LAN was on a different subnet. Put them on the same network (different from WAN) and things work now. Failover is some 20-30 seconds (simulated by remotely disabling switch ports).

LAN was on a different subnet from what? I guess you're bridging an OPT interface?

LAN was a different subnet from WAN (in transparent bridge this shouldn't matter, and it doesn't, with the exception of DNS). Now I'm just as confused. :) You mentioned the problem is that LAN was on a different subnet. Put them on the same network (different from WAN) - what does them refer to then? When bridging, the subnet in use on the member interfaces is irrelevant. It won't affect behavior of filtering. There are some caveats when bridging LAN, like I would recommend disabling the webGUI antilockout rule.
