      I've spent a lot of time reading the pfsense documentation and forums and I'm still confused about a basic point.
      Does PfSense support loadbalancing/failover of 2 IP's, both using Dynamic IP addressing or do I have to use CARP or another product to do this.

      My setup would be:

      IP1 –----------                          ------------------- Wired Gigabit Network (1PC, 1 Mac Pro, Printers)
                              PfSense Firewall
      IP2 -------------                          -------------------Wireless Network

      I realize this has probably been answered a hundred times in the material I've already read, but its not coming through to me
      Thanks

        AFAIK this depends on how you setup your ISPs.
        pfSense currently only supports PPPoE client on WAN interface. If the second ISP can be handled by an external router you should be fine.
