      I'm using PfSense
      Version  1.2.3-RC3
      built on Sat Sep 19 15:48:42 UTC 2009
      FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p3 i386

      I have two internet connections; WAN, OPT1 use static ip.
      I have set Pfsense as a proxy server with add-on Squid Proxy and add-on content filtering SquidGuard.
      PfSense proxy server is now working normally with no problems WAN conditions, I want to ask someone solved the problem Failover when the wan error?

      1. WAN run is ok: LANs ==> Pfsense ==> Squid Proxy ==> SquidGuard ==> WAN (Default)
      2. WAN error: LANs ==> Pfsense ==> Squid Proxy ==> SquidGuard ==> OPT1 (Failover)

      I only use a server PfSense.

      Thanks for advance!

        Squid and Squid gives trouble when used in a MultiWAN environement.
        It has always givn me trouble.

        Until the next version of pfsense.i am using Smoothwall for all sorts of content blocking.

          I do not use load balancing, I just set Default.
          I do not rule set for MultiWAN environement.
          I leave the default settings; Any Protocol (LAN) -> Any (Destination) -> Default gateway
          My problem is a script to change Default gateway and Default root when the wan main
          mistake.

            But inorder to use automatic failover you need to have your client using the load balancing gateway instead of the defult one.
            So you need to create a failover gateway in services-> load balancer
