      LB works fine now with PPPoE.

        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.

          @databeestje:

          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.

          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:
                        :service-port=666:
                        :method=round-robin:
                        :services=2:
                        :0=72.14.203.99:
                        :1=216.239.37.99:
                        :ping:

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

          Wan1BalanceWan2|Load Balance Wan1 & Wan2:
                  :poolname=Wan1BalanceWan2:
                  :vip=127.0.0.1:
                  :vip-port=666:
                  :sitedown=127.0.0.1:
                  :sitedown-port=666:
                  :service-port=666:
                  :method=round-robin:
                  :services=2:
                  :0=207.225.140.205:
                  :1=75.144.37.222:
                  :ping:

          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!
