Load Balancing, 2 ADSL Routers, 1 WAN Interface, 1 LAN Interface

nenillo

Hi,

I have a pfSense box with only two interfaces. On the WAN interface I have connected a switch with two routers, one with 192.168.1.1 and other with 192.168.1.2

On the other interface I have LAN network 192.168.10.0/24

I have configured two gateways, 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 and put default gw as 192.168.1.1.

Then I grouped those gw on a group named ADSLs and set a rule on the firewall to use ADSLs as the gw.

But the traffic is always going through 192.168.1.1, even if I set the firewall rule to use gw 192.168.1.2 instead of ADSLs

Is this configuration possible without VLANs? How?

Thanks.

Actually in pfsense it is NOT possible to do LoadBalancing with connections on the same subnet.
Not sure if you can create a VirtulIP on WAN so you can connect to two different subnets.

Thanks, I will try then to get a VLAN switch or another box with more space to put 3NICs

Hi,

a VLAN swiktch should work. Perhaps you can buy a DUAL- or QUAD-port NIC
