2 Lans - 2 Wans
-
Hi,
I'm kind of familiar with a regular setup with pfSense but I need to setup another box and was wondering if any special rules needs to be created for my second lan. Basically this is the setup.I have 4 NIC on the box
Wan PPOe ISP with static ip
Wan 2(opt1) Cable modem ISP with static ipLan 192.168.100.0/24 Windows Domain
Lan 2 (opt2) 192.168.201.0/24 Windows DomainNo DMZ.
Domain on LAN 2 will be able to access some services on LAN 1 but not all and vice versa. This is basically a matter of rules between the 2 LANs right?
Questions:
Do I need to make a special rule for the second LAN to be NATed to either Wans or just by specifying the gateway, the NATin occurs?Is it possible to make a Load Balancing setup for both LANs and/or assign specific protocol to specific wans.
Thanks in advance

This is the reason your normal LANs shouldn't have a gateway set on the config page.
In the firewall rule you can select either the "default gateway" (uses the routing table on the pfSense), a gateway directly (forces traffic to this gateway), or a loadbalancing/failover pool (sends the traffic to the gateway defined by the pool).Is it possible to make a Load Balancing setup for both LANs and/or assign specific protocol to specific wans.
Yes and yes.
