    No. If you route a new subnet, you do not use NAT or Virtual IPs at all. You really should start a new thread since your issue is not at all like the issue that started this thread.

    Just make sure that your multiple WANs don't have the same gateway. –> Each WAN needs it's unique gateway.

    It should work fine, just make sure that all of the interfaces are bridged in the same way, i.e. OPT1 bridged to WAN OPT2 bridged to WAN … and so on.

    The info should be the same, yeah. Not sure quite how you mean the second one. If the IPs are in use on WAN (like with CARP) they can't also be used behind the router. Though you could setup 1:1 NAT between one of the other CARP VIPs and one device on that VLAN, or you could setup outbound NAT and/or port forwards on a CARP VIP to let you access things on the inside.

    Yeah, waste of resources. Since I have other server to deal with other services. And this is my dedicated pfSensebox running on a small Atom mITX setup. So there is no other way than vmware?

    Not easily in 1.2.x. In 2.0 it can be set on a per-gateway basis in the GUI.

    Success! I copied all the configurations (manually) from my 1.2.3 VMWare VM to a brand new 2.0B4 (Oct 8) VirtualBox VM, and the three ADSL connections are working perfectly fine. Could it be that the problem it is not pfSense, but VMWare? I was using Workstation 7.1 In any case, it seems to be solved! (At last) Thanks again guys, for this awesome piece of app! glemDot

    Yes, if I understand what you're asking, that should be quite feasible. It sounds like what you need to do is proxy ARP for your public scopes upstream, then push them downstream to each campus with a series of 1:1 NAT rules. Regarding removing the pfSense nodes downstream, I'd be cautious about that. It's a good idea to have something segmenting the schools off from eachother downstream. Keep in mind that students are often brighter and more capable than school faculty, especially in technical matters, and should not be underestimated. One final piece of advice would be to stage as much as you can before it goes live. Also might want to run some serious torture tests on the hardware/software stack you plan to deploy, ensuring that: The hardware is reliable and won't be a bottleneck for the amount of traffic you're expecting, + predictable growth. pfSense / FreeBSD is reliable enough on your hardware stack, and has all the features you need. You know exactly what to expect in terms of configuration, backing up and recovering configurations (if the interface names don't match you're in for a fun time), etc. Regarding the stability of pfSense / FreeBSD, I ran into some rather serious issues myself which essentially blocked me from deploying pfSense 1.2.3 in an overly-hostile environment. YMMV of course, but here's the record of my endeavors for reference: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,24337.0.html

    its hard to keep up while shaped - your are answering faster than I can upload the replies. Now that I have some success, I will re-test each connection and look at the bridging option - I cant see anything available yet, so Ithink it will be a double NAT/port forwarding. All help is really really appreciated Mick

    I dont get what you have done. If you set it up on the WAN and OPT1, then isn't that for in coming connections from the internet? My logic to me says to add the rules to the LAN set. I am struggling with a similar setup where I need to use two different WAN connections for specific applications. Mick

    That is covered in the doc wiki, the book, and here on the forum. It's just like a two-wan setup, just add the third wan in the same way. See the links in my sig.

    @Kirill: @eirikz: Why create a double NAT ? :-) Just disable the DHCP on the "router" (I'm guessing this is a commercial home router with WLAN ?) and plug the connection from the pfsense side to one of the LAN-ports instead of the WAN port. Hella lot easier. Yeah, it's a Netgear WNR3500L… But I need the Wi-Fi for my 360, 2 laptops and my 2 Nokia N900  8) Will try this out this weekend, will come back with the results after the weekend. Cheers Kirill eirikz's advice is exactly how I have my WiFi setup. Netgear router with DHCP disabled. Manually set an IP on the LAN side so I can access it, and connect LAN to LAN.

    ok heres what i've tested… i have a multi wan pfsense in my network. I install squid in another computer and had its gateway pinting to the pfsense box. i went to google whats my ip search pages found out that my ip changes when i refresh the page. i think you guys can have another pfsense box and install with squid in your network and it might work. LAN ---------->pfsense + Squid (transperent proxy) --------------------> pfsense + multi wan ----------------> the internet i think you can label your pfsense+squid as kraken ^^

    Many changes in 2.0. It's completely redone. There's a sticky post in the 2.0 forum with info, it will eventually go into the wiki.
