Good advice, thanks. I'm afraid i've tried so many different options and variations to get this to work that it's not as pretty as it should be. I got some of these rules from various examples posted on the web, and tweaked them into unrecognizability ;) Do you think that Josh is right about needing a route-to rule for the second WAN interface? Since you're handing out best practices ;) Is it better to use a nat pass or rdr pass rule than seperate nat/rdr and pass statements? Why? I think my biggest frustration is not finding a single place that is detailed enough about things. I've rad the book of pf, the man pages, the handbooks, etc.. they all give pieces of the puzzle. Maybe once i master this i'll work on a "pf bible" ;) > Hopefully this will help you pin down where things go wrong. > > Cheers, Erik > Cheers yourself Erik ;)
