If the port forwards are on the WAN addresses themselves, to my knowledge
they will not fail over. My understanding is that all "addresses" (and port
forwards) that you intend to survive a failover must be on CARP addresses.

Subject: [pfSense Support] CARP and NAT problems

Greetings.

I finally set up a failover box for CARP.  And so far, everything seems to
be working fine, with one minor detail.

WAN IP range: .65 - .96

.66 - .68 are setup as CARP
.65 and .69 are the WAN interfaces
Port forwards on .65 and .69

The problem:

When this was a single machine, I had port forwards set up on all the IP's,
and everything was peachy.  However, now with multiple machines, the port
forwards on the WAN interfaces will work, depending on the machine that is
active.

Take a port forward from .65 to internal address (master) Take a port
forward from .69 to internal address (backup)

The port forward to .65 works, but the .69 does not.  If the machines
failover (.69 becomes the active machine), the forward for .69 works, but
the .65 does not.  When .65 comes back up as the active box, the forward on
.69 stops working.

And since I don't have the WAN addresses as a VIP, this also breaks AON for
the mentioned IP's.

Last time I looked, I was told that the WAN addresses were useable for IB/OB
NAT, but it appears this is not the case, or I'm missing something.  Any
suggestions on where to look or any words of wisdom?

Thank you,
Justin
