      hello,

      i have have configured successfully a second isp gateway in pfsense 2.0 rc-1

      my problem is, that when i trace the route, the right trace comes out, but when i downloading something over the new gateway i get the slow speed of the first gateway.

      first gateway = 2Mbit
      second gateway = 16Mbit

      but when i use ftp protokol i can downloding with full 16mbit speed, i have try thausends of sites with http but always max 2mbit :(

      why - what make i wrong?

      the default gateway is the slow one and in firewall i have configured that my pc always use second gateway for any!
      nat rules are ok i think, but i have no idea more why over http is the slow gateway used!

      the only thing is i use proxy server squid, but i think it is not relevant for downloading problem.

      can someone help me a little bit
      thanks

        hmm, when i use whatismyip.com
        i get the ip / gw from the slow gateway, but why?

        ihave configured:

        that every protocol redirect over the second gateway to my pc! on top!

        summary:

        traceroute = ok! (the new gateway is use)
        ftp connections = ok! (full 16mbit download)

        http connections = FALSE (2mbit is use always)

        Thinking:

        is it, because i use proxy on lan interface and when a http request is from nat redirect to squids port - squid is using the default gateway???????

          Squid is probably at fault, it will only use the default gateway. There are some recent posts in the 2.0 board with a how-to for making it use a load balance or failover gateway group.
