Good afternoon,

We are using pfSense 2.1.4 and OpenBGPD package 0.9.2.  We are trying to
implement Amazon AWS direct connect.  I believe I have the bgpd.conf
correct as I am seeing the following in routing.log, also bgpd status
shows messages being exchanged.

=========

However when a server on a local subnet in our AS tries to ping a server
in the remote AS the traffic gets routed to the WAN interface and not over
the BGP nexthop.

Here is our BGPD config :
