      I am using pfSense Version 1.2-Release. I have my computers in a multi WAN installation as per http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/MultiWanVersion1.2 documentation.  pfSense seems to be working fine with the exception that most of the traffic seems to be flowing thru WAN 70% of the time vs. OPT1 30% of the time.  I’ve tried one of the suggestions offered in your forum http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,14333.0.html with no success.  I have also tried this similar document http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Multi_WAN_/_Load_Balancing with no apparent change. I hope that the screen shots offer better help than words but I couldn’t add any more of them due to size restrictions.

      The interface status picture attached shows WAN with 1.86 GB/376.79 MB in/out packets vs. OPT1 572.22 MB/67.92 MB in/out packets.

      The multiwan diagram attached have two identical DSL/Modems from the same ISP.  I don’t have the choice to select a different ISP.  So if it fails, I’m out of luck! This is why I am not addressing the failover setup yet.  I will as soon as I learn what I’m doing wrong with the balancing.  Please NOTE that for each modem, the ISP assigns a unique dynamic IP address but the ISP gateway address is the same to each modem.

      The pool setup picture attached is just like the one found in the http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/MultiWanVersion1.2 documentation with my own internal addresses.

      So my question is, what did I missed or set wrong to cause uneven traffic between WAN and OPT1?

      I have other screen shots in a word document that I will be more than glad to send to anyone.  Thanks in advance, Greg
