pfSense to Sonicwall with failover on Sonicwall
-
I have a pfSense hosted behind a Datacenter/virtual IP. That is to say that the pfSense will only ever have one WAN IP, even if it fails over between ISP providers.
I have a few satellite locations with Sonicwall. Previously we leveraged Sonicwall to enter 2 peer gateway IP addresses per Phase 1 to cause rapid failover between ISPs.
pfSense does not seem to support multiple remote gateway entries like Sonicwall, so my question is how to best implement failover from the Sonicwall side?

pfSense will always be: 1.1.1.1
-
Sonicwall is: WAN1: 2.2.2.2 WAN2: 3.3.3.3
I will use dyndns if I have to, but I am not keen on it for several reasons, mostly time.

System / Routing / Gateways
System / Routing / Gateway_groups
There is even a section on it in the pfSense book.
HINT: The monitor_ip on a gateway doesn't need to be "directly attached" ;)

@Perforado thanks for the reply!
The dual gateway is on the Sonicwall, not the pfSense.
What I am wondering is how to best leverage Sonicwall failover to a site pfSense IP.
