except when you do failover or load balancing, then you can specify wether the conenctions should be load balanced or use interfaces with priority (failover), depending on the pattern. -- Erwan David, IT Team manager ========================================================== Trusted Logic Tel: +33 1 30 97 25 03 5 rue du Bailliage Std: +33 1 30 97 25 00 78000 Versailles Fax: +33 1 30 97 25 19 France --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org Are you sure failover has anything to do with static routes and interface you configure in particular? Never played with load balancing but use failover a lot. And from my experience failover takes has higher priority than static route as it is implemented by means of pf rules.
