        have you checked from public dns, that it's correctly set up?

        
        nslookup
        lserver 8.8.8.8
        set q=all
        *TYPE YOUR FQDN HERE*

              is your WAN or opt on a ppp or dhcp connection? Is the dns forwarder service running if you are using the firewall as DNS server? What rules have you setup on LAN?

                  It was working fine , till i added the below  two rules

                  AIRTELANNETWORK            *                        *                    *                  AIRTEL              none
                  RELIANCELANNETWORK      *                        *                    *            RELIANCE                none

                  I want this rule to pass traffic of a particular range  through gateway AIRTEL and RELIANCE if these two fail then load balance through gateway group LOADBLGATEWY .
                  Can you help me to figure out to solve the problem

                    I don't know if it will get to the LOADBLGATEWY .. as the first 2 rules will also try to route them based on policy. Someone with more experience in MultiWAN will have to help with that. Have you rebooted to see if that will fix some issues?

                      Your DNS override, for your static DHCP lease, will not work. You have overridden the system DNS settings in the DHCP setup such that all your clients are using Google DNS and not the pfSense DNS forwarder.

                      What exactly is not working at this point?

                          Like I said your custom DNS record will not work if you are handing out external DNS servers via DHCP.

                              You need to change the DHCP server settings.
                              In the DNS servers field remove the Google DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). Leave the field empty to use the DNS forwarder. This will then use the custom DNS record.

                              Steve
