      Im using pfSense as more of a router-routing Internet to my current firewall which has a DMZ behind and also a user network.

      Basically I have a subnet of 5 Public IP's-Routing them to my firewall that reroutes- I would just go without pfSense but the cluster firewall I have behind pfSense would need more than 5 Public IP's to work

      I am having an issue sending the Public IP's to firewall. I am able to browse the web from behind the firewall so the outbound traffic is working.

      Thanks for any help you can offer.

        Help with what, exactly?  Your topic is a single word, and your post is a pair of statements.  Was there a question or problem in there that I missed?

            Why pfSense in front of a firewall at all? How are you using pfSense to increase the number of IP addresses without using NAT?

            DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

                So you are natting from a public IPs on wan of pfsense to rfc1918 address on lan side of pfsense..  So if your natting you have to port forward to get traffic from wan to lan..
