Upgrading to 2.0 questions

[ionosphere]

I am currently using pfsense 1.2.3, and is thinking of upgrading to 2.0.

However, I have the following questions needed to be answered:

• can all settings of 1.2.3 be exported and imported to 2.0 without any problem? (my primary concern is the local user database for captive portal)
• One of the reasons that I prefer 2.0 is multiple WANs. Can 1.2.3 handle more than 1 WAN? (plus load-balancing)

1. Not sure, you could copy the database files from the 1.2.3 install to the 2.0 install so as to preserve the database
2. Yes

2. How so? I only see WAN and LAN and the rest are optional network interface. How can I change this optional network interface to accept PPPoE and such?

In 1.2.3 only the primary WAN interface can do PPoE secondaries (OPTs) can only do DHCP. 2.0 does not have this limitation.
