      Here is a little issue I noticed and I am trying to figure out the best way to address it:

      WAN
      WAN2
      LAN

      Using simple NAT setup.

      From the lan, I can ping WAN no problem. WAN2 NAT works inbound and if I create new LAN outbound rules and Outbound NAT rules it works but I cannot ping the WAN2 router (sitting above pfSense) from a LAN address or access the routers SSH from a LAN address. If I create a seperate rule for the LAN IP to go out the WAN2 gateway, then it works. Shouldn't the LAN address be able to ping both WAN interfaces regardless?

      Is this something a static route would address?

      I will continue to test and post results but if anyone has any thoughts, they would be appreciated.

      Pictures are worth a thousand words, but <u>posting config.xml backups are worth 10,000</u>.  Alter the IPs, change anything revealing but leave subnets intact. Use find and replace. Please try to keep it brief on the description.
      ALWAYS disable TSO  & LRO EXCEPT CHKSUM IF SUPPORTED. TSO/LRO breaks traffic, pf scrub and this goes for any passive device inline
