University of Toronto ☛ Doing basic policy based routing on FreeBSD with PF rules
Suppose, not hypothetically, that you have a FreeBSD machine that has two interfaces and these two interfaces are reached through different firewalls. You would like to ping both of the interfaces from your monitoring server because both of them matter for the machine's proper operation, but to make this work you need replies to your pings to be routed out the right interface on the FreeBSD machine. This is broadly known as policy based routing and is often complicated to set up. Fortunately FreeBSD's version of PF supports a basic version of this, although it's not well explained in the FreeBSD pf.conf manual page.
