Can someone explain to me quickly why you can't use the same subnet on

both sides of the pfsense box?  I'm guessing it gets confused on where

to route packets.


In a nutshell...

<sarcasm>
Hi I'm a router! I just got a packet destined for a remote host. I know that my 
next hop is 192.168.1.1. OK... lets look in my system routing table to see how 
to get a packet to 192.168.1.1...

Network        Mask             Interface    Metric
192.168.1.0    255.255.255.0    dc0          10
192.168.1.0    255.255.255.0    dc1          10

Uhhh... that's confusing. I have two routes to get to the same destination and they both have the same priority(metric value). GAH! I'll just drop the packet or hold onto it for a bit and not do anything since I don't know how to get the packet where it's going. </sarcasm>
