I submitted it as a bug because hours of googling I found others with the same issue. Here's how mine presents:

version 1.2RC3 embedded on Dell PowerEdge 750 on CompactFlash
2 embedded gigabit NICS connected at 100Mbps (WAN and OPT1)
1 3Com PCI NIC (LAN)

Both WAN and OPT1 are set up and connected to different DSL modems on different ISPs. For each I can ping the gateway through Diagnostics|Ping on the corresponding interface.

When I try to set up my first Load Balancing Pool as per the MultiWan1.2 document, only WAN is available in the list of interfaces.

Help!

I'm trying to set up a multi-homed WAN set up doing round robin balancing and failover.

Here's what I've got:

DSL Modem - Modem operates in bridged mode, static IP from ISP.
Cable modem - Modem also operates in bridged mode, static IP from the ISP as well.
Local NIC - Static IP and to be used to NAT local network across the two WAN's.

I am attempting to do this using pfSense 1.2-RC1 and following the guide from here: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/MultiWanVersion1.2.  After I get the following work done:

WAN (DSL):
Type - Static
IP - ISP provided IP
Gateway - ISP provided gateway

OPT1 (Cable):
Type - Static
IP - ISP provided IP
Gateway - ISP provided gateway.

After I have the interfaces configured I should be ready to move on to create the three needed pools as referenced in the guide above, but here's the problem I run into while creating the first pool:

Name: Load Balance
Description: Load balance two WAN's
Behavior: Load balancing
Monitor: First DNS Server
Interface:

At the interface box is where I have trouble and I can't make progress.  From the drop down list I am only able to select OPT1 and not WAN at all.  Now if I disable the OPT1 interface then I can select WAN, but so far it's just OPT1 is all I can access.  Am I doing something wrong?

Also, some background information on what I'm using here:
Dell OptiPlex GX110
512MB of RAM
1GHz P3
140GB IDE Disk
1 Onboard NIC
2 Realtek NIC's
pfSense 1.2-RC1 (RC2 and 3 both cause problems at the boot block when installing, so I am sort of stuck here.

Any and all help is very much appreciated.

Thank you,
Thomas
