      Hi,

      i have successfully setup pfsense1.2 ,
      load balance work fine with round robin and added the 2 fail rules.

      now the thing, i have my samsung tv and apple TV i want them to connect using the WAN not the OPT only , as i do not want to do round robin.

      how can i do that?

      i know we can assign ruled for http or udp.
      but here as i do not know netflix or youtube on my samsung tv use, i just want to tell pfsense to route any traffic from these 2 devices or IP's via WAN only and do not roundrobin.

      Can this be done?

      thanks.

        Assign the IPs statically (either directly or via DHCP static settings) and then apply your policy routing rules based on the source IP, not port/protocol.
