All,
I have recently installed vmware ESXi 4.1 and am currently trying to get everything to work together.
My situation is that i have 2 nics.
NIC 1 is connected to the Internet this adapter i have added in vSwitch called WAN.
NIC 2 is connected to my Internal network. This adapeter i have added in vSwitch called LAN.
I have installed virtual machine with pfsense which uses 2 virtual network controllers using both WAN and LAN. From what i can tell this works perfectly since from my internal network i can access the internat through this and i can access the guest using its internal lan ip number.
next to this i have several virtual machines that are connected to the LAN vSwitch that run various webapplications like Apache Webserver. The problem however is when i use NAT from the WAN to the LAN virtual machines (port 80) that it doesnt reach my virtual machines.
Thinking that it might be a firewall problem i tried i different server outside the scope of ESXi and this works fine.
I really hope somebody can help met sort out what the problem can be.
is the routing rules correctly on pfsense? i believe it's all on pfsense settings. also what is the gateway define in the VM of Local LAN it has to be pfsense IP.
The routing rules are correct and the gateway is setup correctly as well. If i update the rule to access a standalone server (not a virtual machine) then it works perfectly.
