I don't know if this question has already been answered. I have no idea how to search for it because I don't know the proper search term. I have tried googling to no avail. My problem is simple. Two pfSense routers, matched in every way, both set up in a failover scheme. One goes down, the other picks up the pace. I have only one internet connection. It is a simple cable modem, granting an IP address that is NOT part of a private scheme. Completely raw connection. How do I split the connection coming out of the modem? I do not wish to put another router between the two ends, as that would defeat the purpose of redundancy. I also do not wish to get another Internet connection, that is silly. As I read the workings of pfSense, only one router is doing any of the work in a failover scheme; the other router is just there to be an active backup plan. So, there is no IP address issues, as long as both routers are configured with the same stuff for the WAN side. Is this even possible within the laws of physics? Any help at all would be appreciated, thanks!
