      Hi everyone,

      What are the detailed steps of setting up load balance in load sharing mode (not fail-over mode)? I have two DSL connections that I want to load balance.

      Thanks,

        System->Routing, Groups
        Add a gateway group with WAN-A and WAN-B both at Tier1. (e.g. call it LoadBalance)
        On LAN add rules to match whatever traffic you want load-balanced. In the Advanced section of the rule, Gateeway - select the LoadBalance gateway group.

        Now the traffic is feed into the gateway group. As states are created they are round-robined between whichever WANs are up.

        And I see you are running a very advanced version of pfSense - 2.5.1 - what are all the new features that we will get in a few years?  ;)

        As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."
