      That snapshot will have broken load balancing. Wait for a new snapshot.

        Do i understand you that when there is a new snapshot available (without the bug), everything should work like i want to (see above)?

        And that the logs will be at status=> logs…sorry so logic that i didn't see it :)

          The next new snapshot should have enough of the fixes to let your load balancing work, yes.

          Sep 16 17:20:31    php: : The gateway: LB_WAN1andWAN2 is invalid/unkown not using it.
Sep 16 17:20:32    php: : The gateway: FO_WAN2_WAN1 is invalid/unkown not using it.
Sep 16 17:20:32    php: : The gateway: FO_WAN1_WAN2 is invalid/unkown not using it.

          That is what I was referring to, which indicates you are on a snapshot with broken load balancing for dynamic gateways.

            Super!  So the only thing i have to do is … wait for a new snapshot. 
            When the update is there, i shouldn't change a thing to my config?  Neither in the firewall rules?

              The config should be ok. Just install the update and when it boots up it should hopefully all work.

                OK, i'll let you know using this thread.
                Any idea when a snapshot should be available with that bug fixed?

                      Just downloaded this new firmware to my pfsense router and it works great now.  If i hit F5 several times on www.watismijnip.be (kind of whatismyip.com) i get a mix between dommel and scarlet.
                      Thanks guys!!

                          Yes, It should be fixed in current snapshots.

                            Hi jimp,
                            Should this have fixed the failover issue as well? Since updating to BETA4 WAN failover is no longer working correctly.
                            I have the same issue posted here: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,28415.0.html
                            When a link goes down it will not automatically flick over… im guessing because its not retrieving the info for the gateways?
                            This is the error appearing in the logs:

                            php: : Gateways status could not be determined, considering all as up/active.

                            Also i am running the latest snapshot:

                            2.0-BETA4  (i386)
                            built on Sat Sep 18 23:15:00 EDT 2010

                            Cheers.
