I will try this later to see what the result is. Scott's suggestion of using a static route worked perfectly. The trouble seemed to come from using OPT1 and OPT2 DNS servers as the default. The pfsense machine was trying to resolve with those DNS servers using the WAN interface. I added entries for the LAN section of the firewall rules. This set the correct outbound interface for machines on the LAN but did not seem to help the pfsense machine itself. If the ISP used on the WAN interface did not has lousy DNS servers, I would never have noticed this issue.
