Hi Peter,
THANK YOU!  This solved the problem for me.  I didn't even think to look into 
the system settings about the firewall or routing options.  You saved the day 
for me. Many thanks.
Karl-Heinz Konrad

I've never solved the problems with ICMP redirects. But as Chris said,
it's better to not rely on them anyway. My problem was solved with
passing incoming and outgoing traffic on the same interface. I saw an
option in m0n0wall for that and suggested adding the possibility to
bypass firewall rules for traffic on the same interface to pfsense, too.
You can find a menu entry for that under System -> Advanced ->
Miscellaneous -> Static route filtering.

Also, I decided to change the whole internal routing through our layer 3
core switch (with icmp redirects switched off), because routing through
it is much more performant than through the firewall and you'll have no
problems with filter rules (ok, there are some ACLs on it, but I'm
directly responsible for them, because there are no default rules set
like in pfsense).

I hope, that this helps solving your problems.

BR, PIT
