I have done this before. Worked great. My understanding is that current versions of pfSense will prompt you for the interfaces when it detects this situation but I have not tried that. It is a simple experiment to do. If you have spare IPs on the WAN, I'd recommend moving your gateway IP to be a CARP address shared by both boxes. You can leave the older weaker one as the secondary, and easily do upgrades of hardware and software with pretty much zero downtime. _______________________________________________ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
