Would you mind sharing your final config as sample for others who might need in the future? Thanks!

Hi, I'm using two external interfaces myself, and I believe I had the same problem you describe in your message. I bet when you do: netstat -rnf inet | grep default you will see that your (ext_if2 ext_gw2) comes on top. Thus, my theory is that the kernel is preferring your second external interface due to your routing table (i.e. the order of your default routes). Since I don't know how to handle this in pf.conf for connections originating from my firewall, such as an http proxy running on the firewall, just as in your case too (otherwise route-to and reply-to work fine), I change my routing table in rc files. Specifically, I rearrange the order of my default routes to have my first external interface/gateway on top: route add default -ifp ext_if1 -mpath ext_gw1 route add default -ifp ext_if2 -mpath ext_gw2 Accordingly, I removed the similar shell commands in hostname.if(5) files.
