And does CARP have to be running?
I am not having CARP in mind, as CARP and link sharing are two different things. If CARP
has to be running then this may not be what I want. Specifically I am looking at
http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html
This Linux command is working well for me.
ip route add default scope global nexthop via $P1 dev $IF1 weight 1 \
nexthop via $P2 dev $IF2 weight 1
I think the answer to 6 would be something like a DNS box on the ISP's
network .. or perhaps even something like www.microsoft.com ?
This is exactly what I have done.
More Queries as I am going through the steps:
Create NAT-Rules for your WAN-POOL
1. visit firewall>NAT>Outbound
2. enable advanced outbound nat
3. check the automatically created rules.
4. create rules for all your internal networks to map to OPT interfaces..
(one rule for
each internal network to each opt-interface in the pool)
I could not understand this? Which OPT interface? "each internal network" ? I
have only one.
5. Apply the changes
Policy based balancing
1. Edit a firewall rule on the LAN or Optional interfaces.
* NOTE! We do not recommend editing the default pass all rule! Create a new
rule before the default rule for your policy.
2. Set the gateway to the newly created pool
Done!.
It seems the loadbalancer is working. I am able to tcpdump the second gateway and see some
packets. But when I traceroute from the lan, all packets goes via the first gateway. Also
can I specify the priority of each gateway. ie I have an 1mbps link and a 256kbps, out of
5 packets 4 must go through 1mbps link and one via 256 kbps. Also in the wish list is to
specify one gateway for some ips. ie dns and smtp server for first isp should always be
routed via first isp and vice versa.

Subject: [pfSense Support] Outgoing Load Balancing mini-howto
Hi,
I have some clarifications about the Outgoing Load Balancing mini-howto.
I assume this is
about sharing two internet links so that outbound traffic flows to both
of them.
1. visit services -> load balancer
2. delete any pools that are there that do not work
3. add a new pool and call it loadbalancetowans or something
descriptive
4. set the description to load balancing from lan -> internet or
something descriptive
5. set the type to gateway
6. in the monitor ip box, set a box upstream from this router that
can be polled (via
tcp socket) to ensure link is up
What is this monitor ip? If I have two internet connections, which ip
can I specify here?
7. in the ip box type in the 1st router gateway ip
I assume this to be the gateway of first internet connection.
8. repeat for the second gateway
Gateway of second internet connection and so on...
