      Hi all,

      My pfsense connected to 2 x ISP company (2 WAN, 1 LAN). All users surf my website traffic where coming from ISP1. Can I

      configure the 50% outgoing traffic to use ISP2 in PFsense? Please advise.

        Isn't it easier to loadbalance the network traffic with DNS entry?
        Different IPs for same record

          That'll probably break your users' firewalls. If they send packets to xxx.xxx.xxx.xx1 and get a response from xxx.xxx.xxx.xx2, firewalls will block the response packet.

          Sounds like you need a CDN service or similar. I don't think pfSense can help you here.
