2xWAN / 1xLAN + Static internet ips.
-
ps. This is quite different from all other posts so please don't flame me to search first! :P I did.
Here's the story…
I got 2 adsl connections, (both static ips, and one has another 16 available ips.)
The LAN has around 20 pcs.I need to use both WANs on the LAN and assign to some pcs static internet ips. (NAT 1:1 maybe??)
Both connections are at 1mb/256kb (down/up)...Can I use one adsl modem in bridged mode (the one with the 16 ips) and the other in router mode or something like that and loadbalance them through pfsense?
Any ideas are welcome! ^_^ tnx. -
You can use the outgoing Lb feature in this case, just put one of your static IP as a virtual one.
Setup 2 nat rules, and one policy routing rule with the load balanced "gateway".
I tried such a conf and it works like a charm.–

Have you tried this setup with 2 DSLs?

Yes , with 3 DSL's in fact :) It's ok, I only regret the outgoing loadbalancing can't be really tuned (with weight and sticky clients for example …)
You can go ahead :) -
Actually you CAN do some kind of weighting. Let's say one of your lines is twice as fast as the other you can do that by adding 2 times gateway IP of fast line and 1 times gateway IP of slow line to the pool (you also could do that 5:3 or whatever you like). Haven't tried that myself but heared it was working for someone I asked to try that. Give it a go and report back ;)

This unfortunately doesn't work due to pf handling route-to's.
