[pfSense] Double WAN with same GW
Hello, I have seen couple of threads about dual WAN bound to the same GW. I wanted to know if there was a proper way of dealing with this ? And what you suggested ? The idea is to set up a Gateway Group and be able to define various load balancing policies… (Policy based routing) + (2 Tier 1 links) Any info about the specific manipulation we might have to do in this case are very welcome ! Even if It is to let me know that this is impossible to do ! Sincerely yours.

With plain TCP/IP you will have (not - depends on the viewpoint) much fun if you have 2 WAN-NIC's. The Proper way also depends on what you need to get/reach. Means: Failover, Loadbalancing, policy based routing... The mentioned articles should leave not much questions open.

Re: [pfSense] Double WAN with same GW
Hi! The only difference to having different GW for each WAN is that with the same GW you need to specify a differnet monitor IP for one of the WAN interfaces. The rest of the configuration stays the same. Choose your monitor IP carefully though, if that IP ever stops responding or has a bad connection, your pfsense will assume that your WAN interface is down.

Short of running 2.1, not easily. I do have some customer systems running 2.1 in production for several months because 8.1 didn't support some component (RAID card IIRC) that 8.3 does. I'm happy to consider running 2.1 in production. Is reason to believe that the Broadcom drivers are considerably improved in the 8.3 kernel?

[pfSense] Multi-WAN for multiple LANs
Hi, We'd like to setup 2.1 with two different WAN interfaces, each being exclusively used by two sets of several LAN's. So what we've done is create first WAN (WAN1) and set its gateway (GW1) as the default one. And now we've added second WAN (WAN2) and its gateway (GW2) So we've got NETS1 as LAN1+LAN2+DMZ and NETS2 as LAN4+LAN5 Since GW1 is the default gateway, without doing anything all traffic will go through it. We'd like to have NETS1 to never go through GW2, but NETS2 to never go through GW1, and always go through GW2. NETS2 should use the pfSense box as its DNS server, which in turn uses DNS servers located in NETS1, and NETS2 should be able to access to some machines in DMZ without going through GW2, but directly through pfSense. On top of that we want to use manual NAT outbound rules and use NATNETS2 IP Address (which is a CARP type interface address) as the NAT address when NATting clients from NETS2. This address is also defined as the tcp_outgoing_address for clients from NETS2 in pfSense's Squid configuration. Is there an HOWTO about doing this sort of things, or could anyone give us some hints ? What we've found so far are only documents about multi-wan with load balancing or failover, and while we want failover on all our LANs, we specifically don't want this on our WANS : because of legal reasons clients from NETS2 are now allowed to use GW1.
