      Can anyone help me with this…

      I have multiple static IPs from my provider and need to set up multi-lan to multi-wan.

      Example: Public Traffic - LAN1 through WAN1
                    Business Traffic - LAN2 through WAN2

      Each LAN Interface will be it's own subnet and each WAN interface will have it's own static WAN IP. All of the WAN's will go through the same gateway IP.

      So far I can only get traffic to route from LAN1 through WAN1 and LAN2 through WAN1, need LAN2 to route through WAN2.

      Any ideas?

        Do you have two physical WAN NICs or are you using virtual IPs?

        What meathods have you tried to get traffic from LAN2 go go via WAN2?

          Got plenty of NICs in the pfbox, so each WAN or LAN is getting it's own. The only method I have tried is selecting which Gateway to use in the Rules. For example LAN1 is set to WAN1GW. No luck routing LAN2 through WAN2GW. Really it's the same gateway IP, not sure why I should need multiple gateways for each WAN IP.

            Exactly the gateway is the same so the routing becomes a problem. Hmm, I've seen this solved recently but I can't remember where.  ::)

            Perhaps try manual outbound NAT rules rather than firewall rules.
