Hi

I have 2 fiber WAN connections each connected to one pfsense box.
I would like to route part of one box traffic through the other box WAN link.
I currently have the 2 boxes on the same LAN subnet /24 with IPs xxx.1/24 and xxx.2/24

Is it completely wrong ? or could I use the xxx.2/24 pfsense as gateway for the xxx.1/24 for some specific destinations (for example).

The 2 WAN links are not 100% identical, for ex. 1 has a dynamic IP while the other as a fixed IP. That's why I'm interested in driving which trafic goes which way.

thx

Is there a specific reason for using 2 separate PfSense instances?

A single instance with 2 WAN interfaces would have no problem routing the way you want it to.

You may be able to do what you are seeking with a static route, but I have never tried what you are planning myself.
