      as of 22-03-2007 pppoe is still not supported/fixed.

      Considering my vacation next week this is unlikely to change soon.

      You can however use the old style configuration as a workaround. e.g. Not the interface name, but the gateway address. This requires manual config mangling and a filter reload.
      so replace "wan" with you wan gateway IP in the relevant config section, etc. Please confirm that works with a pppoe connection before we troubleshoot this any further.

      e.g. edit file config.xml, search for the load balancer section. Gateway goes left, monitor ip goes right.
      Save that, reboot, see if it works.

      Old style configuration will trigger some logging warnings though.

          i'm one week further now. And i have a hunch.

          Can you give me the contents of /var/etc/slbd.conf for the working and the non working configuration?

          You will also need to clarify the ip configuration. E.g. which IP is the local address, which is the gateway and which is the monitor ip.

          This would really help tracking this problem down, thank you.

              Not untill Mr Cheeky or someone else with a not working pppoe config sends me the items I specified in my previous post.

              I lack a broken PPPoE connection to test this. Because I have tested this with one connection I had access too and it just worked.

                Can you please give me the exactly way for the work around. I will provide you with the informations you needed then.

                  I just read the other post: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,4542.0.html
                  Is this already fixed?

                    This problem still exist using the latest 1.2 snapshots.
                    You have to manually edit the lood balancing pools (replace wan, opt1, etc with the real ip address of the gateway. :( :( :(

                        Have tried the latest ISO of Pfsense-Beta-1-testing, this problem on LB using PPPOE on WAN still exist. Using the WAN gateway as a default gateway (single gateway), no problem. But if you include it on any pool that is LB or failover, error appears.
                        Again, manually editing the pools replacing WAN with the real IP corrects the problem.

                          I'm experiencing this exact same problem, I was running 1.0.1 on a machine whose motherboard died.  We purchased a replacement and I did a fresh install of the 3-27-07 snapshot where we ran in to this problem, last night I updated to the 1.2-BETA-1-TESTING-SNAPSHOT-04-30-07 to find the issue still exists.

                          /var/etc/slbd.conf from the working 1.0.1 install:

                          Balancer|Dual Wan:
                                        :vip=127.0.0.1:
                                        :vip-port=666:
                                        :sitedown=127.0.0.1:
                                        :sitedown-port=666:

                          /var/etc/slbd.conf from the non-working 1.2-BETA-1-TESTING-SNAPSHOT-04-30-07 install.

                          Wan1BalanceWan2|Load Balance Wan1 & Wan2:

                          In the 1.0.1 install I was using 2 addresses that resolved from www.google.com, in the 4-30-07 install they are the default gateways for each connection.

                          I'm not sure how much this will help, but the load balance section of config.xml for 1.0.1 is

                          <lbpool><type>gateway</type>
                                                  <monitorip>216.239.37.99 <monitorip><name>Balancer</name>
                                                  <desc>Dual WAN</desc>
                                                  <port><servers>207.225.140.205|216.239.37.99</servers>
                                                  <servers>75.144.37.222|72.14.203.99</servers></port></monitorip></monitorip></lbpool>

                          In the non-working snapshot config.xml the load balance section is as follows

                          <lbpool><type>gateway</type>
                                                  <behaviour>balance</behaviour>
                                                  <monitorip><name>Wan1BalanceWan2</name>
                                                  <desc>Load Balance Wan1 & Wan2</desc>
                                                  <port><servers>wan|207.225.140.205</servers>
                                                  <servers>opt1|75.144.37.222</servers></port></monitorip></lbpool>

                          If there's any other information I can provide to help resolve this, please let me know.

                            We have setup a box at a real life PPPoE at WAN and a static config on OPT-WAN with 1.2beta1. We can't reproduce the problem. This is the sesond timme we tried to reproduce it without luck  :-\

                            Anybody having this issue please try to catch me at IRC (freenode, ##pfsense). I'm usually around during the evening hours central european time. If you get me a way to logon to your box maybe I find something  we are currently missing to see.

                              i got the same problem last year want a try to do this with floppy firewall. And the guy who do the plugin for dual wan never find the answer. So i decide to buy a Hawking Dual Wan that can handle it but he not have the option of the pfsense and cannot take the load of my two 8 mbit DSL (one connect by pppoe with static ip and second with a cisco 827 with 8 ip adress static) But i try to do this last night with pfsense and i got the same problem i got with my floppy firewall. I will be very glad to reinstall it and give access to somebody that can fix this issue. just send me a email and i will move the current traffic from my pppoe to another ip on my cisco. So this way i will be able to use it on the box. Because the pppoe link serve only for mail traffic and my cisco for web access and mail failover.

                                Try this.

                                Do not use the PPPoE gateway as the monitor IP.
                                For example use your DNS server from that isp.

                                    With the help of Rafael's system for debugging databeestje fixed the PPPoE multiwan issue last night. Everybody who is affected by this please upgrade to the latest snapshot and retest. Feedback is appreciated.

                                      Confirmed working. Tested with DNS as monitor IP for PPPOE WAN.

                                      THANKS!
