Dual WAN Failover and Load Balancing not working
-
@h8r:
I have the same problem - Load Balancing is working, but failover - not. The monitor IPs - they should be pingable only from the ISP interface, right. I mean if I choose worldwide pingable IPs - this can be a reason why my failover is not working (they will be pingable even if one host is down). So - no public IPs, right?
We generate static routes behind the scenes for monitor IPs to ensure it goes out the right gateway so it will detect the link failure even if the monitor IP would be pingable from another WAN.

snapshot 27-feb-2007 , I found that changing the rules (moving them up or down, adding a rule) would get my load balancer to work in the morning after being switched off all night. It would take about 10 minutes to start working fine….

This might be an issue with already established states. if you reset states after rearranging rules they will make use of the balancing immediately.

Can't be states because the machine was off for the night. When I turn it on http browsing works (though a bit slow) but ssl based email (smtp and pop, ports 465, 995) just does not work until I have messed around with the rules a bit by moving them up and down. ssl based traffic is on failover-load balancing. -
Haven't seen that on any of my installs and also have not heard about it yet. However I recommend upgrading to the latest snasphot. I think your snapshot was released during the timebased rules have been implemented and during developement of this feature some things were temporarily broken. Try to reproduce this with the latest snapshot please.

Thanks, my load balancing and failover is working fine now, my fault is that my firewall rules got mixed-up and wrong order sequence, my monitor IP are also wrongly assigned. Thanks again more power to PFSENSE

My problem was solved by upgrading to the latest snapshot.

Yeah sure, just double-check your order sequence in LAN firewall rules, double check also your Monitor IP assigned (IP gateway provided by your ISP) and try using the latest snapshots version.
Thanks
