      I have a network as diagram below:

      On SITE A, pfSense firewall server public port for a virtual server (example: port X), virtual server have 2 pool:

      • Pool 1: point to A_Srv_01

      • Pool 2 (Fall-back Pool): point to A_Srv_02

      • Virtual server listen on WAN IP (call A_Public_IP_Port_X)

      A NAT rule created to NAT port X to servers A_Srv_01 and A_Srv_02 (using Alias)

      My problem:

      • Internet_Client access A_Public_IP_Port_X is OK

      • B_CLIENT access A_Public_IP_Port_X is OK

      • A_CLIENT access A_Public_IP_Port_X is NOT OK

      If server A_Srv_01 run as standalone server (not using Virtual Server) everything OK, so I think NAT reflection is not a problem.
      May be I have some problem with routing from: A_CLIENT <–> A_Public_IP_Port_X <--> Pool (A_Srv_01 / A_Srv_02)?
