      First of all, thanks in advance for the time you're spending to read this my first post.

      I'm PFSense/M0n0wall user since 5 years, happily !

      Today I have setup my first DUAL WAN (Load Balance as follow):

      LAN : em0 192.168.0.1/24
      WAN1 : PPPoE (fixed ip) 81.xx.xx.11 subnet 255.255.255.255
      WAN2 : Static IP 192.168.2.5 subnet 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.2.6 (get internet connection from modem without DHCP without PPPoE)

      (1) Setup WAN 1
      (2) Setup WAN 2 (OPT1)
      (3) Both up running
      (4) Setup GW Group as LOAD BALANCE (group the 2 GW both in tier 1)

      FIREWALL Rules adjusted LAN to use GW_GROUP.
      Outgoing traffic simply PERFECT !

      Now comes the problem….

      Behind PFSENSE  I have an ASTERISK box (192.168.0.5) listening to port UDP 5060 (SIP) e UDP 10000~12000 (RCP).

      I have to NAT ports 5060 & 10000-12000 in UDP to 192.168.0.5 but limiting the access only to special network 100.xx.xx.0/22, that is the network of my VOIP supplier  (to prevent somebody steal my VOIP credit....)

      I have add FIREWALL NAT for both WAN 1 and WAN 2 indicating SOURCE as 100...0/22
      In FIREWALL Rules I have changed the GW from DEFAULT to GW_GROUP that is the load balance.

      Asterisk perfectly REGISTER with VOIP and I can call out.
      But I can't receive any call ! The caller hear fast busy signal (as no connection).

      No point I say that, if I switch off the PFSENSE, switch on M0n0, everything is working perfectly.
      I checked the configuration between M0n0 and PFSense in FIREWALL NAT/RULES and they look the same, apart the gateway that in PFSENSE is setup as GW_Group (Load Balance).

      If I use the default GW (not the GW_group), I mean I leave both rules in FIREWALL using the GW of their WAN, everything is working well.

      Where did I mistake ?

      Thanks again

      Paolo
