      I currently have:
      LAN
      WAN
      WAN2

      LAN (DHCP) is setup to utilize both WANs in a load balancing manner.

      I've added another NIC card and assigned the interface to "SEED_LAN"

      I cannot for the life of me configure pfsense such that SEED_LAN acts as another lan that can access both of the WANs.  What should I do?

      I've tried setting SEED_LAN as static, which allows me to set an IP address / 24, but setting my client as static yields no results
      I've tried setting SEED_LAN as DHCP, which doesn't allow the IP / 24 to be saved.

      ps here is my current interface info:

          I added the DNS rule for my seed lan; no change.

          Perhaps a better question is:

          How should I setup a 2nd LAN on a new interface (w. DHCP)? Then, I can let it use the Dual Wans.
