      Dear pfSense gurus,

      I've been trying to set up a load balancing + CARP setup.
      The CARP side of the setup works flawlessly, but I'm having trouble with the load balancing.

      I've attached the scheme of the network to help clarify the big picture.

      Currently I have internet access, but all traffic, with the exception of traffic I specifically forward
      through the ADSL interface is going through the cable connection.

      It looks like I'm missing something… I've spent 2 weeks trying to figure it out... with no success...
      I'd be more than grateful if you could help me out with this...

      The config

      Networks
      LAN - 10.0.0.0/8
      WAN - 192.168.2.0/24 (Connected to a 3/0.5Mbps cable)
      WANDSL - 192.168.1.0/24 (Connected to a 5/0.25Mbps ADSL)

      Interfaces
      LAN - 10.0.0.254
      WAN - 192.168.2.1
      WANDSL - 192.168.1.1

      CARP settings
      LAN VIP - 10.0.10.10 (Used as the gateway by all workstations in LAN)
      WAN VIP - 192.168.2.10
      WANDSL VIP - 192.168.1.10

      Firewall settings
      LAN: allow outgoing from all through "balanced".
      WAN: allow from all to all
      WANDSL: allow from all to all

      NAT settings - I suspect that the problem is here…
      WANDSL    any  *  *  *  192.168.1.10  *  NO  Auto created rule for LAN
      WAN                any    *      *      *      192.168.2.10    *      NO  Auto created rule for LAN
      WAN                any    *      *      *  *            *      NO  Auto created rule for LAN
      WANDSL    any  *  *  *        *                *    NO  Auto created rule for LAN

      Load balancing settings
      balanced  gateway  192.168.1.1 <testip1>  Load balanced outgoing gateway
                                                192.168.2.1 <testip2>failed to attach a diagram… (Upload folder is full)</testip2></testip1>
