      Hello Everyone,

      I'm trying to figure out how to route between my wan interfaces.

      WAN2 Virtual IP –> WAN1 Public IP

      My goal is to take some of the traffic off of WAN1(ISP1) and route it through WAN2(ISP2) without changing any IP addresses.  I have both WAN's setup and working great.

      Any help would be appreciated.

      Thanks

        You can't do that without changing IPs, short of having your own AS and PI IP space which is not doable unless you're big and have a big budget, or are an ISP with hundreds of customers minimum.

          My company leases both subnets and uses them as they see fit.  I don't see why I can't route one ip(ISP1) to another(ISP2).  Maybe it is just that pfsense can't do it?

            Are you talking about local routing, i.e. getting from WAN2 to WAN1, or actually routing traffic on WAN1's IPs out WAN2 (or vice versa)? The latter is what I thought you were referring to. The former requires NAT reflection to be enabled if you're using NAT.

              Yes, that is exactly what I want to do.  I want to route a WAN2 ip through pfsense to a WAN1 ip.

                Just enable NAT reflection. Cleaner to use split DNS but reflection will work.

                  Can't seem to get the 1:1 NAT to work.  I'm using the latest version of pfsense.  I have a virtual IP on OPT1 that I want to route to a WAN IP.  I've setup the 1:1 with rules, but no luck.  Any advice would be helpful.  Thanks.

                    I was able to get the 1:1 NAT working from the LAN, but I'm still having problems accessing the NAT from the outside.  I did notice that the connection is very slow from the LAN.  I just want to map one IP from OPT1 to an IP on WAN.  What am I overlooking?
