Weird thing is that I went and bypassed the pfsense box, and connect my

assign the laptop different IPs (within my netblock) I get different

IP then it is 450ms. Yet, some other hosts are pinging at 350ms no matter
what the local ip is.
I have seen this before. At my work we have a business class "cable
modem". In their infinite wisdom they activated a feature on their
network called "MAC address accountability" (don't ask, I have no idea
what this means) and our connection instantly started having major
issues with CARP type IP addresses. I could plug a Mac in and it
would be just fine. Sadly this took over a week and a half of my
life whereas the ISP was blaming my firewall. After staying on their
ass ensuring them it was not a firewall issue they finally resolved
the issue but it took the technical support folks to get in their car
and drive to the datacenter to get the very knowledgeable 4th level
folks off their asses and fix it.
This sounds very similar to the drama that I went through.
Did this issue occur ONLY with CARP ips? I have plugged my laptop directly
into the cable modem, removing the pfsense box completely, and I still see
the problem (but only on certain ips).
