      I'm trying to setup outbound nat for a secondary ip pool. Internet provider gave me a list of IP's from a different pool that will route out of my original gateway. I created a Virtual IP / Other / WAN / Network. Put the IP pool in with /27. Set Outbound NAT to Manual. Edited the rule for the correct IP Pool / VLAN and changed the NAT address to the Virtual IP / Network I created. Set it to Round Robin with Sticky Addresses.

      I have an Any Any rule set for that VLAN and made sure it works fine with the NAT address set to the WAN address. When I change it to the new Pool the machines on the vlan can't get out. I can ping the gateway and the original Gateway address. If I try to ping Google or Spiceworks.com or anything DNS resolves find as it will show the IP but then fails to ping with Request Times Out.

      If I change the NAT Address back to WAN Address / Interface Address it works fine.

      What am I missing to get the outgoing traffic to show up as the new IP addresses?

        If these additional IPs are not routed to your primary WAN IP by the ISP, you have to add each single IP out of the /27 subnet as a virtual IP to use it on pfSense.
