        I think bill said in a similiar thread that it could be done but our gui doesn't support it. If that is the case we might add support for it later.

        If you use advanced outbound NAT it will sum up the bandwidth but you need several clients to use all of the bandwidth. None of the clients can use more than one IPs up/down restrictions though.

            I honestly haven't read this entire thread but I can confirm that you can load balance with the same actual gateway using routers.  Here is my setup:

            /–----routera10.10.10.1---------Wan-10.10.10.10
            ISP
                -------routerb11.11.11.1---------opt1wan2-11.1.11.11
            I set it up like that and it worked just dandy.

            I will also tell you that I tried it like this:
                  /------DSLtransprentPPPoEmode---------Wan-PPPoE
            ISP
                -------routerb11.11.11.1---------opt1wan2-11.1.11.11
            and if failed, not sure why though.  It may have just been when I tried that particular setup, I put in a rule incorrectly.  Anyways, hope that helps.  Also if your having dns problems after doing this, the routing tables may be going screwy, but so far it hasn't happned for me.

              There is a known bug that prevents usage of a PPPoE connection for pools. We are working on fixing this.

                But as you see I have 10 IP that mean I need 10 routers or I make Vlans???
                or I can make Sub IP in the external router (only One router) and I configure pfsense to use every sub IP as a gateway

                please see the attachment this is my Topology and the second one I need to do it Can I ?

                        If you have one isp and 1 internal server it's pointless.

                        And I do not see why you want it either.
