      HI!
      We have two balanced FTTH lines at work (with PFSense 2.0) and works very fine. The problem is about one external server (in Amazon EC2); we are loosing the session ID with it because the balanced output.
      We don't know where to put a rule (if it is possible) to avoid this problem. We tried adding a rule in the firewall (on the LAN), but obviously have no effect.
      Anybody could help us, please?
      Thank you!!

        somewhere in your firewall rules (on LAN site) you have put your GatewayGroup for LoadBalacing as Gateway.
        Before this rule you have to put a rules with destination IP of the server (Amazon) with only one gateway specified.

        Better way would be to create a second gateway group with both fiber lines but with different tiers. than put this as Gateway in the rule I described above. That the traffic will always pass one GW - if this one is down it will automatically failover to the second GW.
