The drop down thing wasn't too well-considered. Should have realized that the standard NAT rules
don't contain interface adress.
Thanks for getting back though.
 
Dinesh: Thoug dual WAN w. load balancing has been brought up before, it definitely sounds
interesting ;o)

i have the multipath routing patches to freebsd, which in conjuction with
BGP, would allow you to multihome a freebsd box. at the same time, i'm
investigating using ipnat to load balance outgoing/incoming traffic over
two DSL links. i know the discussion about whether m0n0wall is a router or
a firewall has been beaten to death here, but with the increasing
prolificness of DSL (and it's cheap cost), i would think that this will
soon become a requirement.
