It is possible on pfsense (Dual wan , policy routing)

Dear All,

I have two connection at home , cable and adsl.
I setup a pfsense to do a loadbalancing and failover, it acts perfect.

Then I have created a rule (policy routing) that route an internet subnet (e.g. 210.210.210.0/24)
which all the connection incoming via adsl gateway (because it is faster than connect via cable)

However, if the adsl is down, I cannot connect to this internet subnet (bcoz poloci routing exist).

So, it is possible that I can do a failover for this issue without disable the routing rule ?

Hope someone can give me a suggestion. Thanks a lot.

B.Rgds,

Ken

You can simply create a failoverpool with the ADSL line as primary WAN and then use this pool as gateway instead of the gateway directly.

Thanks GruensFroeschli .

However, when the cable line is running in max speed during P2P. Does the adsl can take care (load balance)
other incoming connection ?

Thanks!
