      Hello all

      We need to add a Second WAN (fast) interface and use it for all Internet traffic

      The First WAN interface (slow) we plan to dedicate for SIP traffic only (port 5060)

      Both WAN interfaces have Static IPs; we got single LAN interface for all traffic

      ? What configurations do we have to change/add: FW rules ?  gateways ?  forwarding ?

      Please help with the advise

          Thanks for links. But those all about Load ballancing/failover. We plan to use both WAB circuits at the same time.

          Question is : How do we direct outbound Internet traffic to Fast WAN leaving just SIP traffic on Slow WAN ???

          Thanks  :)

              THanks a lot doktornotor !

              policy routing looks like what we need  :)

              Question: do we have to reinstall pfSense to add an extra LAN-Card ?

                No, of course not! Just add the card and once booted again, assign it to a new OPT interface.
