      Hi Everybody,
      please help me …
      I have one physical network adapter and two internet connection but on the same network.
      For example, my lan network is 192.168.1.0/24.For first internet connection, I have gateway 192.168.1.1
      and for second internet connection, I have gateway 192.168.1.254.
      I want to configure multiwan feature in pfsense by using esxi5 server that contain virtual network adapter.
      I have trouble in pfsense multiwan configuration with three virtual network adapter. :(
      Thanks.

        your lan subnet is the same as your WAN-subnets …. this will cause issues with any routing platform

          yeah..
          but I configured pfsense in esxi5 is three NIC, one for Lan and two for wan.
          My LAN subnet is 172.18.1.0/24 and I use policy base routing for multiwan.
          I can use only one wan gateway and second wan gateway is not work.
          pls see my attach file and suggest me how should I do.
          Thanks.

            only way i see this working is by using vlan's, but this would require you to have a L2+ manageable switch

              I assume that you say.
              I was trying to use vlan in pfsense but not okay cox there are one broadcast domain in physical network.
              So, the only way to solve this problem is to create broadcast domain separately by using vlan in physical network that you said.
              Thank a lot for your help.
