Suggestion: Copy rules from one interface to another
-
I have recently set up a pfSense box at an office with many independent businesses sharing the same network. I'm working on getting each business set up under a separate VLAN for security, all connecting through the same pfSense box. We're doing multi-WAN as well for failover so I have a number of policy routes to send various traffic out the different WANs. There are probably about a dozen rules for each LAN interface that I need to manually create for each network. They're all identical (or can be made to be) except for references to the current interface address/subnet and the actual interface they apply to.
My suggestion is for an interface to copy selected rules from one interface to another and automatically change the interface and any 'Interface Subnet' or 'Interface Address' references.

In 2.0 there are "Interface Groups" where you can join multiple similar interfaces together. I believe you can still have separate interface-specific rules when using groups.
You can probably use this to accomplish the task, but it isn't something that will find its way back into 1.2.x.
