      That's not how IP routing works.  It is up to the device that has to change where it sends the traffic (in this case 10.0.0.254) to know which gateway to use and when.

      Look into multi-wan and put both ISPs on one pfSense and let it deal with it.

      DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

        The System which I run pfsense is only have 2 NICs. one is for WAN and other one for LAN. Is it possible to split the WAN interface to two and terminate 2 interfaces to 1 WAN interface?, The current WAN interface is PPPoE.

          You'll need to use VLANs and a managed switch or get more NICs.

            Alternatively you could configure source NAT on the pfSense, so traffic to 10.0.0.254 look as if it originates from the pfSense.
            The downside is that you loose the original source. (e.g. for statistics).
            Also i'm not sure if this is the right solution for you.

                Yeah. Get another NIC if you don't understand any of the above. Clear?

                  Okay. I have no PCI slots available to add NICs. I have USB ethernet adaptor connected to Pfsense. Please tell me how to configure it.

                      OK. Get a suitable hardware for your needs. A box limited to two NIC ports is NOT suitable when you need multiple WANs plus LAN(s). USB NIC is not suitable for any serious use.

                        Serious use, I wouldn't even use usb nics for play/testing..

                        So you have multiple ISP, and host stuff to the public - but your running on a piece of hardware that has only 2 nics and you want to use usb nics.. Come on your talking a few hundred dollars to get hardware better suited, etc..
