      Hi guys, i don't know if this is possible but i have many routes do different address on different networks using the same gateway, this gateway is not my default gateway, so i'm thinking…
      is possible to use an alias do to that?
      so when the destination networks or hosts are on the alias X use the gateway Y?

        I don't know why it would not work, but haven't done that myself.

        try it, worst case scenario is that you lose few minutes time of your live

          I've tried to do, but the system display the message "A valid destination network must be specified." when i insert an alias on the destination network field.
          This is a interesting thing to include on next versions of pfsense

            if you're having subnet of 192.168.1.1/24 then gateway must be inside of that area: 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254

            But if you mean, that you could use different wan gateway to internet, then yes
