      i have made the dns rule but no difference at all and for the DNS gateway , i don't have the gateway tab in my pfsense beside DNS servers

      but i have noticed that from seeing the next hope after the pfsense which is a cisco router

      after i bring back the second line online no packets hits this line at all

      and all the traffic goes to the first line , and all the icmp used in monitoring is generated from one interface
      is that normal . after one line goes down all the icmp traffic used in monitoring goes to one line
      so how it could check if the second line is come back online ??

      notes: the dsl lines are not directly attached to pfsense , and their is a cisco router after the pfsense and after it the 2 dsl lines

      so why the pfsense is insisting that the wan is offline and it didn't came back online

          Does it come back online if you renew the interface ? or disable and then re-enable it?

          WiFi

          LAN

          Got Speed?

                  Your WAN is on 10.24.250.x Net & your WAN2 is on 10.24.250.x Net also, are you sure that both Netwworks doesn't overlap ? Which network mask do you have on each WAN ?

                  Maybe you need to elaborate a bit more about your setup…

                    Internal NIC on 10.24.250.x as well. Unless those are small subnet masks, all 3 NICs may have overlapping subnets.

                            Same problem here.
                            My ISP disconnects every 24 hours automatically. So WAN1 goes offline, comes back after a few seconds, but PfSense is still saying 'Offline'. I've set the monitor IP to an IP which is definitely pingable.

                            But I have to say I'm using PfSense 2.1-BETA1 (March 28).

                            Any ideas to solve this??
