      Hey there

      I have some questions regarding a Dual WAN Setup

      I have

      16000/1000 ADSL Connection getting static IP based on the Login
      26000/5000 Cablemodem connection with DHCP getting "mostly" the same IP Adresse.

      I can setup the ADSL Modem Router up to do the Dialin and und a privat Subnet between pfsense and the Modem.
      On the Cable Modem i can't do this, the Modem does not have Routerfunctionality. So i have to life with the very short lease

      dhclient: bound to 9x.6x.3x.xxx – renewal in 1260 seconds

      Can i use the Dual WAN setup to "route" traffic like VPN only to one Line ?
      As far as i know, load balance will not work.

      Are there any plans to have a setup like on a Draytec router, where i simple have the options on the OPTx Interface as on the WAN Interface?
      Like DHCP/static/PPPoE/PPTP

      Any Ideas how i can use my two lines ???

      Microsoft gives you "Windows"
      Opensource gives you the whole house

        adsl on WAN (to be able to use PPPoE)
        cable on opt1
        Setup both as dhcp.

        If you want to exclude certain traffic from being balanced just create a rule above your balancing rule with as gateway your interface you want it routed to.

        Rregarding the plan on adding PPPoE support on OPT interfaces:
        Search the forum. Somewhere is a thread about that.
