      Hello all,
      we are having problems with NAT Reflection after updating to pfsense 2.7.
      It seems that now nat reflection works only on the carp master firewall.

      In our dns we setup entries like this:

      firewall1.example.com -> public ip 1
      firewall2.example.com -> public ip 2

      firewall1.intra.example.com -> private ip 1 on lan interface
      firewall2.intra.example.com -> private ip 2 on lan interface

      If we try to connect to https://firewall1.example.com from lan when firewall1 is carp master, it allows us to reach the gui
      If we try to connect to https://firewall2.example.com from lan when firewall1 is carp master, the connection times out.

      If we move the carp master from firewall1 to firewall2 the behavior is swapped: we can connect on the gui of firewall2 but not firewall1.

      The behavior is the same whether we use "nat+proxy" or "pure nat" settings in System>Advanced>Firewall & NAT

      The connection to firewall1.intra.example.com and firewall2.intra.example.com is obviously not affected.

      Has anyone else encountered the same problem? Is it a bug to be submitted to https://redmine.pfsense.org?

      Thanks,
      Michele
