Multi-WAN through single NIC
-
Hi, is it possible through pfsense to have this sort of setup:
Internet1, Internet2 <====> [ switch (not managed) ] <=====> (load balance)[ firewall ] <====> LAN
where the firewall has one WAN NIC and one LAN NIC. On the WAN side I want to set up a virtual interface to access the second gateway (Internet2). Internet1 and Internet2 are both static IPs, and are from two different ISPs.
I tried adding a VLAN to mimic the virtual interface, but when I assign it the static IP and gateway of Internet2, I can't seem to see it when I try to ping the gateway.
Thanks for any help.

On 1.2.3 this is not possible without using real VLANs and a managed switch.
On 2.0 you can add multiple gateways on an interface and use those in gateway groups for load balancing and failover.
