Alex, I share your pain. I'm not a pf guru, but I can't seem to get this 
working either...

I have managed to get the Load Balancer Status to turn Green/Yellow/Red as 
expected when I unplug a connection. But the internet get's all wonky... as if 
DNS isn't working, old records seem to work, some pages take forever, etc...

I have a similar setup to you it looks like. I was suspect that it doesn't like 
192. series as a gateway and that there is some filtering in the default rules. 
I have removed all default filtering for these IPs (since my test environment 
has a WAN connected to a real internet connection / router (200.x) and the 
second WAN is to an internal router (192.x), that  then goes to the internet), 
internal LAN is 192.168.1.x.

I wonder if the issue I am having is that the WAN's are load balancing, part 
traffic goes across one, part the other... when one goes down, it get's 
screwy... not failing over...

Like you, I don't want to use TWO WANS at the same time, I just want one to 
work, or the other... and on recovery revert back to the primary.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

Let me know if you make any progress, I am about to call it a night.

Regards,
Chuck

No, I have two completely different gateways. One is 200.XXX.XXX.XXX and the 
other is 192.XXX.XXX.XXX.

Are the gateways the same?  If so, that won't work as it balances by
gateway IP, you need an intermediate NAT device on one.
