pfSense is based on FreeBSD, not Linux.

There is no such "iproute2" program for FreeBSD.

You can use pfSense's built-in features to do policy routing/load balancing in many different ways, probably better than by just using multiple routing tables.

For programs running on FreeBSD, multiple routing tables are handled by setfib(1) but that doesn't do anything for traffic passing through the router.

Dear Jimp
Thanks a Lot for vital information.

My LAN is 192.168.0.0/21.It has 2 gateway servers. one gateway is on pfsense and the other on Linux Box.


I need loadbalance the traffic of 192.168.5.0/21 subnet  and 192.168.7.0/21 subnet  using routing tables,I need to divert the http traffice that is coming on to pfsense LAN interface to other Linux box (gateway)

The reason I cant use policy based routing is, the LAN interface of the Linux box is not visible on the gateway list of pfsense.

cheers
