      Hello,

      I am trying to do something like cloud deployment template for pfsense. Ideally, I want both interface addresses assigned from separate DHCP Server.

      I am able to see that both LAN and WAN interfaces take their addresses from DHCP, but no traffic passes from LAN to WAN. Here's what I've tried so far.

      1. Since I read somewhere that if you enable DHCP client for LAN , the interface is handled more like another wan and no auto NAT is created, I created a new manual NAT rule.
      2. Created a Firewall rule that allows communication.
      3. Globally set disable reply-to
      4. Disabled auto created LAN Gateway

      If I set the LAN IP statically, everything works like a charm. When I revert to DHCP client , no traffic is flowing.

      I use the same setup for Cisco ASAv and it works.

      Any ideas?

      Thanks,
