      Hi,
      I am looking at testing PFSense v2 on my system at home where i need to setup multi WAN.  In my setup the source IP and destination port would decide which WAN connection is used for connecting to the internet.  Also if WAN 1 goes down then the traffic should NOT got out WAN 2 but if WAN 2 goes down the traffic can got out WAN 1. This is very important in my setup as WAN 2 is high cost counted bandwidth connection and WAN 1 is an unlimited connection.

      Does PFSense V2 support this and if so which is the safest snapshot to use.  I see there is a post or 2 about the current snapshots having issues with the second WAN connection so i am not sure which snapshot to try.

      Regards

      Chris

        Before moving to the latest round of snapshots, I was running multiple dual-WAN boxes on Sep.28th.  It seemed to work well.
