<![CDATA[Outbound FTP and CARP/VIP]]>We recently migrated from a single pfSense server to a dual server fail-over CARP/VIP setup.

pfSense1 –-------- CARP/VIP --------- pfSense2
Ext. x.x.x.57 x.x.x.58 x.x.x.59
Int. 192.168.0.240 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.241

I enabled advanced outbound NAT, and created the following rule:
WAN 192.168.0.0/24 * * * x.x.x.58 * No

All traffic I've tested comes out through the assigned external VIP, except for FTP which comes out through the master pfSense box.

Due to vendor IP restrictions, we really need to have FTP connections coming through the VIP, is this possible?

Thanks!
