| there is a much easier way to do this Why didn't you just use a SonicWall TZ190 router with built in WWAN and multiple WAN load-balancing.
It does what you want automatically.

Possibly because pfSense is free and has many, many more features than SonicWall can offer?
Can the sonicwall route based upon destination IP/Port?
Making life difficult? No
Saving money? Yes
And Are you F'ing nuts? $630 and up?!?!?! Yeah...where a WRAP (looks like what he has) is about $175 MAX (no longer being made) or a Soekris is $150 - $250?
Yes...I think he is trying to make it "harder"  |

I agree using a dual WAN router is the way to go if you want an easier solution than this guy jerry-rigged.
However, I have to disagree with your recommendation to use a Sonicwall product. From personal experience configuring several, I have to say they are a POS. |

You're missing the point. The SonicWall can't selectively send traffic out different interfaces like this guy requires. He wants traffic that requires low-latency and little bandwidth to go over the EDGE connection and bulk delay-insensitive traffic to go over the satellite. The SonicWall can't do this, nor can it be modified to do it. |

The Top Global MB6800 has a 1 x 4 switch built in. Their latest firmware support auto-failover between WAN and WWAN. An advanced version called the MB6800P can do load balance. |
