I've got what appears to be simple question, but for the life of me I can't
figure this one out.

I've got a pfsense firewall setup between a local subnet (192.168/16) and my
internet provider.  The provider has given me two subnets 11.22.33.192/29and
11.22.44.16/28.

The WAN IP is in the larger subnet:  11.22.44.17/28

For any given IP in the above subnets, 1 or more IP's exist in the private
domain.  Eg:

11.22.33.194 port 25 = 192.168.0.2 port 25
11.22.33.194 port 80 = 192.168.0.3 port 80
11.22.44.17 port 25 = 192.168.0.4 port 25

This is all working fine (yay!).  The problem is that the private subnet
can't access IP's on the public subnet.  So, for example, 192.168.0.2 can
connect to www.google.com just fine.  192.168.0.2 can NOT connect to
11.22.33.194 though...  the packet just gets dropped somewhere.

I've got the VIP's setup using Proxy ARP, because there are two subnets (And
apparently CARP requires that the IP exist in the same subnet as the WAN
IP).

Just as a test, I setup a CARP for 11.22.44.18, and the same problem exists.

Basically, it seems like I need to tell the firewall the right rules on the
LAN interface to clear this up... but like I said, I can't figure it out.

Thanks for any help,

Justin
