      I have a multiWAN configuration that's the same as I've used at many sites with success, and I've just noticed on a new install a troubling issue. On first boot, the static routes for the monitor IPs aren't created. Obviously everything works fine as long as WAN1 stays up, but bringing WAN2 down brings both load balancer gateways down with it and traffic stops. Simply going into the load balancer configuration and re-saving and applying one of the pools brings in the static routes and it works properly thereafter.

      These two routes do not appear after boot, but show up once the load balancer is re-applied:

      208.67.220.220 	66.183.48.254 	UGHS 	0 	428 	1500 	vr2 	 
      208.67.222.222 	70.71.232.1 	UGHS 	0 	428 	1500 	vr1 	 
      

      I am running 1.2.3-RELEASE NanoBSD. The configuration was imported from a previous 1.2.3-RELEASE full install. I've attached a screenie of the load balancer setup. Any suggestions? I can provide config file snips if necessary.
