Specific gateway for specific website.
-
Hello guys, i have the following situation.
For some time now i've had a pfSense box which works wonderfully. 2 Lans and 2 Wans.
LAN1 -> WAN1 (static ip)
LAN2 -> WAN2 (Dynamic ip)I need to make it so that all requests towards a given website from LAN2 will pass through WAN1.
I've already set up a rule on the LAN2 interface that takes all requests for that website's ip and routes them through WAN1.
The problem is that i need to make that rule so that accepts the url. This because the website does not have reverse lookup :
pinging the website i get the correct ip. Reaching the ip on the browser does not reach the website but some directory on the server.I am trying to add an alias www.example.com but no dice, even though ive seen info around that one can add straight an url as an alias.
I never seem to be able to add it.Anyway i can resolve this matter?

Try alias type for www.example.com with host option instead of url.
url alias is not for url filtering.
if www.example.com/sample.php goes to www.example2.com, then you have to include the host on redirect link on the same alias
alias should be this way
alias name: siteredirect
alias mode: host
alias entry1:www.example.com
alias entry2:www.example2.com -
Just saw that on the forums :)
Had just hit enter on the rule change after i created the alias.Thank you very much for the reply :D
