To be honest, I don't know why we have 5 ips on wan2, I have no need for
them at all. It might be usefull once I register a proper domain for the
office, but for now we are using no-ip.org and it is working just fine.
What I do know is that if I disconnect let say wan2 for some time and then
reconnect, I will be assigned an ip address on a total different subnet
and it messes up everything, I have to manually set the ips in our router
for them to be used, this is why I'm asking how I can set the ip
addresses, on wan1 if I reboot the router where I haven't set the static
ip, it does reconnect using the correct ip, but I have never disconnected
this line for more the 1 minute.

Right now I'm using wan1 for all our outgoing ftp, one site that doesn't
like load balancing and incoming pptp connections, wan2 is used for
outgoing https and ssh connections, incoming http and ssh connections is
coming in on both wan1 and wan2 depending on which ip is registered at
no-ip.org. All other outgoing connections are using both wan1 and wan2.
All this I can do with PF, but I need to find a way to set the ips.

I'm guesing here that because you have not specified any lines from my new
config file that it should be working and thanks for explaining how it
assignes ng interfaces.
