      Hi
      I have a dual wan configured with load balancing working right but I have a pb with some websites using ip to stay connected, when I click on a link on the page and loadbalancing switches to the other wan, it says that my session has expired…

      How can I tell pfsense that for one website (or IP) it have to use wan1 and not wan 2 ?

      here is how I set this up:

      ---------- 192.168.0.2--------FREEBOX(192.168.0.254)---
      LAN 10.0.0.103----- PFSENSE                                                                                 --------NET
                                               -----------192.168.1.2---------NEUFBOX(192.168.1.1)-----

      For example When I use IP 194.117.200.10, I wish It only uses ====> LAN then 192.168.0.2 then 192.168.0.254 then NET
      Hopt I am clear enough...

      Thanks in advance

        Create an hostsalias at firewall>aliases "unbalancable". Then add all destinations that won't work loadbalanced. Now go to firewall>rules, lan tab. Add a pass rule above your loadbalancing rule "pass, proto any, source any, destination unbalanceable, gateway <desired gateway="">. You also can do this based on destinationports like https or a portalias for example (https will most likely break when balanced).</desired>
