      Hi !

      I have 2(two) different ISPs and from one of them I have a /29 subnet (8 ip addresses) that are routed through the main ip address from that isp. Its like this :
      ISP  A  gives me: ip address 81.181.100.66 with subnet mask : 255.255.255.252
      default gateway : 81.181.100.65  AND a subnet routed through  81.181.100.66:    81.181.200.240/29

      ISP  B gives me: one public ip address.

      Could pfsense handle this setup so as: my Internal private Lan (192.168.1.0) class would still have access to internet (nat) And my public 8 ip subnet would be reachabe from the internet (these would be www/ftp servers) ?

      Thank you. (if yes failover would be nice :D)

        I'm sure it can handle it…

        You'll have to install 3 NIC;
          one for WAN (I would use the one from the ISP B)
          one for WAN2(OPT1) (this one will have your 8 IPs from ISP A)
          one for LAN

        From that you'll have a default route created by pfSense to allow everything from LAN to WAN, after that you'll be able to configure either NAT Port forward or even NAT 1:1 wich will NAT everithing from one external IP address to one internal IP address.

        For your LAN to access your servers on OPT1 I would create records that override DNS Forwarder reply to access the server directly through routing. So instead of doing PC1 -> pfSense -> ISP B -> ISP A -> pfSener -> Server it will do PC1 -> pfSense -> Server
