      http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/What_is_policy_routing%3F

      What is policy routing?
      Policy routing in pfSense refers to the capability of routing traffic by matching it to specific firewall rules. Each firewall rule allows you to select a gateway. If none is selected, traffic goes out your WAN interface. If you have any additional WAN interfaces (OPT WAN), or gateway load balancing or failover pools, you can select these in the Gateway field when adding or editing rules to direct matching traffic as you desire.

      What firewall rules we are talking about?

      Anyway, can anyone help me out? I had designed my network, here

        If your going continue to run with that network setup then it seems to me your running a router on a stick.. Ie you have devices connecting via interface X, just for the router to send traffic back out interface X to got next hop but without the vlans.

        If you back to your bridged setup, then I would say you just need the correct route on your pfsense box, before you had it set to lan as interface.  But 172.25.55.253 is not on lan its on opt1.

        So your route should of been

        172.16.254.0/24 172.25.55.253 via opt1 or possible your br0.  I don't have a lot of exp with bridges to be honest, have not used them since late 90's ;)  Other than a wireless ones to change from wireless to wired, etc.

        But when you create a bridge would you not just have 1 ip address for the br0??  Again I don't work with bridges much.  Never seen the need on router ;)  With a router you would route not bridge - and if you were going bridge you wouldn't need to route over the bridge.
