NAT and separate gateways
-
I have an existing pfSense setup - works fine, one LAN, one WAN link.
I have a pair of new pfSense devices that I'm setting up for redundancy, to replace this existing setup - and I'm trying to wire in an extra Internet link, so Multi-WAN. I tested it and it worked; hosts inside were able to reach the internet - but NAT, both by port and 1:1, did not work.
I tried the "Bypassing Policy Routing" mentioned here (https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Bypassing_Policy_Routing), but that didn't make a difference.
Our gateway for devices on the network is a Cisco switch that forwards all traffic to the pfSense machine - my suspicion is that messes up things for NAT. Does anyone else have a similar scenario?
