      So I have a RamNode VPS with KVM running pfsense 2.3.1_1. I purchased a second IP from RamNode so I can do a HA Proxy for multiple sites I run. I am unable to get PFSense to recognize the second NIC with Virtio, Realtek 8139, and Intel PRO/1000 Drivers. Any idea where to start manually adding this, or determining if in fact, its possible on their system?  They sent me to you.

          dmesg doesn't show any errors (Or second NIC) and pciconf shows only the first NIC

          re0@pci0:0:3:0:	class=0x020000 card=0x11001af4 chip=0x813910ec rev=0x20 hdr=0x00
              vendor     = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'
              device     = 'RTL-8100/8101L/8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter'
              class      = network
              subclass   = ethernet

            So after talking to my VPS provider more found out its not a second NIC I need to configure, but an IP Alias. Did it inside the pfSense GUI and all is working.
