      Hi,

      I have used pfsense for many years and I have set up NAT with multiple externals IP many times using proxy ARP, but this time I am stumped.

      The setup is simple with two external IP-addresses:

      xxx.131.147.41 = proxyARP
      xxx.131.147.29 = WAN address
      GW = xxx.131.147.126

      and one LAN= 192.168.140.x

      Three port forwards from proxyARP address (xxx.131.147.41) to two different internal hosts on the LAN (ftp/http/ICMP)

      Three  port forwards from WAN address to a single host on the LAN (http + two custom ports)

      The first three port forwards works like a charm. The other are not working at all.

      However, if I change external IP from WAN address to proxyARP for the failing port forward it works. This would rule out any connectivity problems on the host.

      Any ideas were to continue looking?
