      well I've since placed a soekris net4501 running m0n0wall in between my cable modem and the WAN interface on my pfsense loadbalancer and now the WAN connection seems to stay online
      only concern is my cable connection I've seen burst up to 20mbit/sec speeds, and hopefully the net4501 won't bottleneck that

        Hi Valhalla:

        You can setup static routes en general config, but don't forget to permit that routes in firewall. Also you can force the route to out through the wan interface (put these routes before the loadbalance route which shoul be the last one).

        I hope some developer could tell us why the interface is not backing up when the link is recover.

        I have time to troubleshoot these issues.

        Regards,

        Olaf
