As expected, you have no gateway on em2. pfsense is able to route packets to
any host on that network, which means it can reply to any incoming packet,
or contact any machine on that network, but any traffic that doesn't match
the exact networks in the first column, ie, 'the internet', will take the
default gateway, ng0.

For load balancing to work, and for any outbound connection initiated from
your network to go out the em2 interface, you will have to enter a gateway.
If this messes things up with your ISP then your ISP has a problem, or
you're not setting things up properly.

Enter your ISP's gateway on em2 and if that doesn't work we'll troubleshoot
from there.
