      Hy,

      we have a Network with some natted Subnetworks and two Subnetworks with public IPs.

      Now I want to know if pfSense can handle this scenario.
      The IP Addresses are fix because we don't want to reorganize the hole subnetworks.

        Yes, this is possible. Just disable outbound NAT for the 141.x.x.64/26 and 141.x.x.128/25 networks. Then have the SUSE Firewall point to 141.x.x.9/26 with a static route for the two networks.

            Ok I tried what you said but it doesn't work.

            I configured my ethernetdevices for WAN and LAN (141.x.x.128/25).
            Disabled the outbound NAT and deleted the automatic generated rule.
            For the WAN-Interface I generated a rule which allows any traffic to any network.

            I tried to ping a server behind the pfSense from my notebook which was in the DMZ.
            The gateway for the notebook was the pfSense WAN-IP. So everything should be transfered over the pfSense Router.
