Description

we have quite a lot of unused ipv4 and ipv6 addresses. we have used to nullroute the large address blocks with our old equipment, so that the unnused addresses won't cause routing loops with our isp.

there is no setting as I know how to accomplish this with pfsense 2.1 (developer version).

there are multiple ways to accomplish this with freebsd, but pfsense gui does not support them.

route to lo0 and 127.0.0.1

"route add -blackhole", or "route add -reject"

this could be done if I could select lo0 as device when creating a gateway with system_gateways_edit.php
