Load balance dude
-
Hi !
I'm proving pfsense and i love it!
I have a dude about load balance, when a interface fails? only when the link down? If i have connected the pfsense to a switch, and the switch to the router … and the router connection fails ... pfsense mark this connection like down for the balance ?
I have two wan lines with ethernet and separated NAT routers, and i want that OPT1 be the backup of WAN, i dont care that the traffic be balanced, but i want that if WAN fails ... all traffic go to OPT1.
Sorry, my english is too bad. Thanks for your time in advance.
Regards.

Dead links at single interfaces in the pool will be detected within 5 seconds and excluded from the pool until they are available again. Just enter a monitor IP for each gateway that is repsonding to pings.
A pure failoveroption (running only one WAN and swap over to a backup WAN2 when WAN fails) isn't implemented yet but it's a feature that is already worked on for head (next release of pfSense, most likely 1.1).
There is no timeframe for 1.1 yet (in case this is your next question) ;)
