      I have spent HOURS trying to get pfSense to work right and this firewall is already in production, so our websites are down :(

      Basically, I can forward ports for the first IP, which is set as the WAN interface, but I cannot get any ports to forward on the other IPs, which are set as VIPs.

      Gateway:   25.74.84.121
      First IP:     25.74.84.122 (this is set as the WAN IP)
      Second IP: 25.74.84.123 (VIP)
      Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.248 (/29)

      NAT Rule: Forward 25.74.84.123:80 to 192.168.2.5:80 (this does NOT work)
      NAT Rule: Forward 25.74.84.122:80 to 192.168.2.5:80 (this DOES work)

      I have tried setting the 2nd and 3rd IP as "IP Alias" and "Proxy ARP" but neither worked.  I have Brighthouse cable.

      Making it a bit more complicated, I pfSense is running in Hyper-V.  I've tried it with the host's WAN NIC using just the first IP and using both IPs, but same results.

      Can someone please help me?
