      Hi,
      we have a pfsense running with one static IP-address assigned by our ISP xxx.10.yyy.21/27 with gateway xxx.10.yyy.1.

      We are adding servers to our internal network that needs separate IP-addresses and then got assigned a new network with a new gateway:
      zzz.80.www.66-70/27 and gateway zzz.80.www.65
      This is on the same physical line so no failover or load-balancing is needed or practical. From the ISP we get one single Ethernet port from a FO-converter. The new addresses will be used as NAT 1:1 to internal servers facing the Internet.

      I have been trying to understand how to configure pfSense for this. I have added the new addresses as Virtual IPs to WAN and then added standard Port Forward rules to the internal hosts using the Virtual IPs.  This doesn't work since I haven't found out where to add the gateway for the new subnet.

      Questions: a
      Am I doing this the wrong way?
      Where should I enter the gateway for Virtual IPs?

      Any pointers in the right direction greatly appreciated

        OK, our ISP added the new net so we can send all traffic to that IP. All is cool.
