      gateway changes whenever i disconnect and reconnect internet i can't stay connected 24hrs isp reset connections after 24 hrs

      Now that is a hell of a strange ISP…
      You could do a traceroute everytime you have a different IP/gateway and see from which point on you always take the same route.
      Then use this IP as monitoring-IP. (Since it's always reachabel over the same way no matter what gateway you have)

      @http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic:

      Rules:
      Rules are processed from top to down.
      If a rule catches the rest of the rules is no longer considered.
      Per default a "block all" rule is always in place (invisible below your own rules).

      Traffic is filtered on the Interface on which traffic comes in.
      So traffic comming in on the LAN-Interface will only be processed by the rules you define on the LAN tab.

      Your second rule is never doing anything :)

      We do what we must, because we can.

        wht u say has point but i need add static route whichever ip need to reach beyond adsl modem tht means i need to change routes whenever gateway changes

          pfSense automatically creates static routes to the correct gateway for the monitor IP's.

              Then reread this again and think about it ;)

              Your first rule (which is NOT loadbalancing) always catches.

                  What do you use as DNS server?

                      On the clients directly or on the pfSense?

                      If it's on the pfSense you need to create a static route for one of the DNS-entries to the second WAN.
                      Otherwise pfSense cannot resolve any DNS-requests while the primary WAN is down.
