pfSense

Hi,

I have 2 DSL connections plugged into my Pfsense. I use 2 PPPoE interface in Pfsense to establish the link.

Both connections are behind the same provider. So each of my PPPoE interface receive a different IP address (obviously) but the same IP for gateway (I think it's the way it's working if two DSL lines are in the same physical location)

Apparently, pfsense cannot handle this case. If I leave the monitoring IP for each gateway in auto mode then one of the gateway stays in pending mode in the gateway status and is not considered as up.

So I manually set the monitoring IP for the gateway 1 as 8.8.8.8 and the other one with 8.8.4.4, it's working fine.

But once in a while the gateway status for one of them is down, even if the PPPoE configuration is correct and up.

I have to restart the apinger service and edit the gateway configuration of this interface without making any change (just edit and save) and that's fine for a few days.

Is this bug have something to do with incorrect ip route ?

If I look at this 2 routes, the monitoring route of the two gateway is leaving the same netif interface pppoe0.

It should be pppoe1 for the 8.8.4.4 entry route right ?

Thanks
