      Hello all,

      I seem to be having a very odd routing issue. I have an extreamly simple new install and I just cant figure out what is going on. Here is my setup.

      192.168.1.1 – Wan1
      172.12.16.1 -- Opt1
      10.15.1.1  -- Lan1

      Everything works perfect with the load balancing and failover its really great. However I have a Netscreen 25 VPN router on the network as well. Its IP is 10.15.1.16

      On my old Linux firewall all I had to do is add a static route pointing to that IP address and I could access all my remote VPNS just fine and they could access all of my network resources as well.

      I can not seem to get my pFsense box to use a static route. I added the route from the web gui and it shows up in the routing table.  However when I try to traceroute to any of the ipaddress that the netscreen handles the traffic for it will not work. For some odd reason it tries to route the packets out the wan ports.

      I have no firewall rules in place other then the ones to pass traffic to the Load Balance pool that i setup exectly like the docs showed how.

      Any ideas?

      Thank you!!!

        Please post your static route.

          Keep in mind that any traffic directed to a specific gateway (load balancer pool) will bypass the routing table. You probably want to check the box to bypass firewall rules for traffic on the same interface. (system, advanced)
