      Hello there!

      I have a strange problem when I follow the Multi-WAN/Load-Balancing documentation: I cannot add the WAN interface, it's nit in the list.

      I have 6 interfaces: LAN (172.16.0.200 atm), WAN (192.168.104.1), WAN2 (192.168.105.1), VPN (192.168.100.1), DMZ (192.168.103.1) and PROXY (192.168.102.1).

      I want to set up the following:

      WAN and WAN2 shall be load balanced
      WAN, WAN2, VPN shall be fail overed (for some purpose)
      WAN2, WAN, VPN shall be fail overed (for another purpose)

      I set all interfaces to use a static address and defined the gateways for the WAN, WAN2 and VPN interfaces.

      Now, when I try to set up the first pool (Load Balancing), the WAN Interface is not in the Interface Name Listbox, only the WAN2 and the VPN interfaces are shown there.

      I use 1.2-Beta1.

      How do I get the WAN interface in the listbox?

        using 1.2-BETA-1-TESTING-SNAPSHOT-04-30-07

        "Interface Name" works fine here.

          It only offers Interfaces that have a gateway configured. I guess your WAN Interface is down and has no IP-Configuration and that's why it is not shown in the list. Get some connectivity at WAN and try to create the pool again.
