      Hi,

      I have WAN loadbalance and failover up and running ok on my pfSense 2.3.2.

      But my problem is to set default gateway. When loadbalance is runnig I switch between both gateways/subnet.
      When I test my public IP on my computer I randomly get both my ISP IP adresses, sometime xxx.xxx.xx.xxx and other yyy.yy.yyy.yy.

      I would like to set one gateway as priority, but have not found the solution yet.

      Any help appreciated

          Thanx

          Is it correct when LAN-loadbalancing rule is on top, both gateways are used at the same time? The failover rules only starts when laodbalancing failes due to one missing WAN connection?
          The way I see it there is no way to set one gateway as default, and when that one is "full use", the next gateway takes over?

          I've set weight on both gateways, but still I switch between both WAN.

          The reason why I would like WAN1 to be default is because it has lower latency than WAN2. Other than that it works perfect  :)
