PPPoE with dynamic IP do not automatically reconnect
-
Hi,
I have a pfSense 2.1 amd64 release that has two wan configured. An static IP connection (now on WAN1) as a default gateway used for the servers and a dynamic IP connection through PPPoE (now in WAN2) that I use to web browsing and everything else. The particular configuration that I have is that I had configured a gateway group to use the WAN1 as a backup of the WAN2.
The ISP change the IP address of the WAN2 every 12 hours and the issue that I have is that the pfSense do not reconnect when this happens. If I disable and re enable the interface manually the WAN2 connection is restored.
Do you have any idea of why is this happening?
Regards!

It seems to be an issue of apinger that has troubles in this version of pfSense. I've configured cron to reset the apinger every 5 minutes and it seems to work. It's not the solution but at least a workaround.
Here is the script that I execute with cron:
#!/bin/sh killall apinger sleep 3 /usr/local/sbin/apinger -c /var/etc/apinger.conf
