Static routes and Policy Based Routing do not work on Pfsense 2.0
-
Hi,
I have a Pfsense 2.0 box setup (upgraded from 1.2.3) with 2 Nic (WAN and LAN)
The WAN IP is 10.254.0.254/24 , the LAN IP is 10.100.1.254/24
On the WAN side there are 2 gateways (adsl routers) configured: 10.254.0.1 (default gw) and 10.254.0.2 (2nd gw)I can add the 2nd gateway without problem in the 'Gateway' config, and i can also ping (and web access) the 2nd gateway from a PC on the LAN side without error.
But somehow i cannot route any traffic to the 2nd Gateway.
I tried both Rule based Policy Based Routing (no errors during config) and also a simple Static Route (also no errors), but the traffic keeps going through the default gateway.
If i set a static route, it correctly shows up in my routing table.What am i doing wrong here? Is this a bug?
regards, GJ

Yes, it's a bug. See:

Thanks Francesco,
I noticed indeed similair problems, but if there is no fix (i cannot see if someone is working on it), is there maybe a manual (console) workarround for it?
The only thing i want to accomplish is to route some traffic (network or host based) to a specific (not the default) WAN gateway.
Is'nt that a very basic routing functionality?The routing part worked OK in 1.2.3 (as i recall) but i do not really want to downgrade to 1.2.3
