        what kind of separation you have on those groups? if only one lan and half of the ip's are using first gw and second half is using another gateway, then you can do it with below description.

        you need two firewall rules(lan tab, i assume you're having only lan) and two ip-aliases, if you don't want to have loadbalance/failover.

              How do you want to separate the half of the lan?

                Actually pfsense offers some quite sophisticated methods for doing outbound balancing of traffic, which you can read about in the wiki.

                However, if you'd prefer the simplistic method of routing half of your LAN systems via WAN1 and the other half via WAN2, you could consider what I suggested in http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,41561.0.html (note: obviously this would work best if you have a large number of systems in your LAN)

                    if you just want to speedup, why don't you use loadbalance? it does same thing automatically. when you add failover on that, internet doesn't completly break, when one modem/connection goes down.
