Load Balancing and Fail Over with Dynamic IPs
-
I have pfSense setup with 2 WANs (WAN and OPT1). WAN is a cable modem and OPT1 is a DSL modem. Both interfaces use DHCP to retrieve their respective dynamic IPs from the modems. Everything works as it should (load balancing) when both interfaces are up, however when either interface goes down, all connections from the LAN are cut. pfSense correctly detects the down connection, but failover does not work. I have the three gateways configured in the pool as specified by the howto for dual WANs. Any suggestions on how to get both load balancing and failover to work?

Did you specify in the firewall-rule on LAN that it uses the pool as gateway and not the standard routing table?

If you have checked previous reply and still have a problem:
When an interface goes down, what does load balancing - status report?
If it reports both down then you prob ably have your monitor IPs the wrong way round.
