If WAN is down, then show a page at the LAN clients, that says the WAN is down?

Is it possible to have the following config:?


WAN LINK (Modem, or whatever?!) - STATUS: DOWN
       |
       |
       |
--------------------------------------                         -------------------------
|                                    |                        |                        |
|   pfsense router/firewall          | ------------------------|   LAN machine           |  <- requests google.com > gets a page saying that the Internet connection
|                                    |                        |                        |       is currently down
--------------------------------------                         --------------------------

And then this:


WAN LINK (Modem, or whatever?!) - STATUS: UP
       |
       |
       |
--------------------------------------                         -------------------------
|                                    |                        |                        |
|   pfsense router/firewall          | ------------------------|   LAN machine           |  <- requests google.com > gets google.com
|                                    |                        |                        |      
--------------------------------------                         --------------------------

Not really at this time, but thats an interesting idea.

No way that I can think of to do this without hacking up something. you would need something like bringing up the captive portal with that information when wan is down. not doable with a stock pfsense yet.

OK, I'm looking very much forward to see if that function comes into pfSense ;) :D

Thanks for a very great firewall OS
