Upgrade. That version is very, very old and has a number of known issues.
What little you have shown looks OK but there isn't enough info to tell for sure.

A few things you might look at:

Make sure the client isn't hitting a proxy, such as the squid package. Otherwise it will appear to access the web however the proxy does, not how your rules state.
Make sure the client actually has the address you put in the rule, since the rule shows 0/0 it means it's never been hit. So either that is freshly after a ruleset reload, the client may not be using that IP address, or it isn't hitting pfSense as its gateway
Show the gateway status of WAN2_DHCP. If that's down, it would act as if the rule isn't there.

Hi @jimp ,

Yes you are right we are also using Squid for logging. Does it matter or should i do configuration on Squid side?

If you use squid then the client traffic can't be directed out a second WAN with policy routing rules. There may be a way to fix it in the squid configuration, but that's a topic for a new post in the Cache/Proxy category.
