      Hi,

      I have 3 different ISPs that wanted to be load balanced on pfsense 2.0.3.  I have read on "router on a stick".  I have a cisco catalyst 3750 and tried but it seems that i cant get the other ISP to be loadbalanced in pfsense.

      Heres what i got.

      On cisco 3750
      VLAN10 - ISPA (eth1/0/1)
      VLAN20 - ISPB (eth1/0/2)
      VLAN30 - ISPC (eth1/0/3)
      on eth1/0/45 (where my pfsense resides) its on TRUNKING and allow VLAN10 to VLAN30  (I dont know why "multi-vlan" option was taken out of context on this device)

      on pfsense
      i enabled my WAN interface to be of VLAN10 to VLAN30
      created a gateway group "wangwgroup"

      is there any other things that i have get in touch with? should I add the gateway group on the rules for my LAN interface? and what is policy based routing? where i can see it, is on pfsense or on the cisco 3750?

      love to hear from your experience on how to configure this kind of setup and device. Thank you!

        yes change "wangwgroup" to use gateway instead of default (*)
