      @Cletus:

      Because it's been sent to that special IP it will go to the ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff and therefore it will be broadcasted to the correct subnet right?

      Correct.

      As for sending to x.x.x.255 rather than x.x.x.254.  That may or may not work.  Depends on if pfSense will route an IP broadcast between local subnets.  The reason I use x.x.x.254 is that it can be NAT port forwarded through the firewall from external internet sources.  Where as x.x.x.255 cannot.  At least not in in previous versions of pfSense.
