      Hello,

      I have two DSL connections and I want to use PfSense as firewall / NAT router.
      I want to use load balancing for all my traffic but I will route some specific traffic on WAN1 or WAN2.
      If one WAN drop, is it possible to automaticly route all its specified traffic on the other WAN interface?
      Thank you,

      XK

        For loadbalancing a dead link will be temporarily excluded, however for policybasedrouting it won't failover to another link atm. This is one of the upcoming features that we have worked on during the last hackathon allready.
