      Dear forum members,

      Right now, i use the 2.0-RC1-IPv6 pfsense software for some routing between two ISP's (i just used a howto that i've found here).  Today, i've changed one of my DSL providers (new one incoming) and…it seems that the dual WAN is broken.  I have tried to fix it, but it seems that i can't fix it my own.

      The old situation

      Belgacom VDSL
      30mbit down
      4.5mbit up
      variable ip

      Dommel VDSL
      30mbit down
      4.5mbit up
      fixed ip

      The new situation

      Belgacom VDSL
      30mbit down
      4.5mbit up
      variable ip
      PPPoE done by pfsense

      EDPnet VDSL
      30mbit down
      4.5mbit up
      fixed ip (85.234.217.87) + /27 ip range (213.211.130.48 / 28)
      PPPoE done by pfsense

      I've post my pfsense setup (txt-file) with this post.  Could some-one please take a look at it and let me know what i do wrong?  The problem is that when i go to eg whatismyip.com, it always uses the belgacom interface and never the edpnet interface.  Also when i download a file at full speed using the Belgacom Interface, an other download will use that interface too in stead of the EDPnet interface.  It would be nice if there was some load balancing between them (when one of the interfaces is too busy, pfsense use the other) and a failover.

      Second thing : my EDPnet interface has a fixed ip (85.234.217.87) , and a /27 ip range (213.211.130.48 / 28) as "next hop".  I want to install some VPS servers with those public ip's so i can reach them from the internet.  How do i set up pfsense to do that?  Must be something like transparent firewall, but how?

      Thanks for any answer!

            By any chance you have sticky connections active?
