      Hi all, I'm reading documentation and testing floating rules.
      The may greatly simplify my tasks!
      My pfsense has 2 wan nic(s).
      The are configured as gateway group in failover and it works fine.
      Then I have 3 nic(s)
      LAN  (vlan 1)
      LAN4 (vlan 2)
      LAN6 (vlan 6)
      LAN8 (vlan 8)
      I also created a group named AllLan with those nic(s).

      I disables the default LAN rule and created a new floating rule with the same paramters:
      Action: pass
      Quick: checked
      Interface: AllLan
      Direction: In
      Address Family: ipv4
      Protocol: any
      Source: any
      Destination: any
      …
      Advanced / Gateway: MyGatewayGroup

      It works!
      I have no other rules on the other LAN interfaces.
      So what's wrong?
      Usualy to be able to resolve names by pfsense, I had to add a rule.
      (On my client, the nameserver is pfsense).
      Nontheless, I can access pfsense web interface also from the other LAN networks.
      Only LAN interface has the anti lockout rule (not LAN4, LAN6, LAN8).
