      Trying to establish this sort of setup:

      INET > pf1 > LAN1 (10.1.1.x) > pf2 > LAN2 (10.7.1.x)

      LAN1 = production environment
      LAN2 = lab

      Currently traffic flows no problem between LAN2 and LAN1

      Trouble is traffic doesn't flow from LAN2 to INET

      Tried turning off NAT on LAN2 - made no difference
      Double checked routing on pf1 and pf2 - looked OK
      Blocking Private Networks is turned off on both pfsense boxes

      What am I missing here?

      Thanks in advance.

        NEVERMIND!!!

        It would figure the a little more thrashing around myself would resolve into an answer.

        The DHCP gateway on the pf2 box was somehow screwy. So I gave up on DHCP for WAN …

        I assigned the WAN on pf2 a static IP in the LAN (10.1.1.x) and manually defined the gateway as the pf1 box.

        Voila!

        3-hours later, I can now begin the experimentation I hoped for.
