For educational purposes I am running several pfSense VMs on a vCenter 7.0.3.01800, three ESXi 7 U3o host cluster using distributed switching. Each pfSense VM uses the same VLAN tagged distributed port group for the WAN with a static IP. Each VM uses a different VLAN taggeddistributed port group for the LAN with a static IP and running DHCP. For instance pfsense VM1 will use VLAN 1092 on the WAN and VLAN 200 on the LAN, and pfsense VM2 will use VLAN 1092 on the WAN and VLAN 201 on the LAN When I connect a Windows/Linux VM to the same DPG as the LAN it will always get a DHCP address BUT if the Windows/Linux VM is on a different host than the pfSense VM it will not get added to the ARP table so it can't ping or access anything. If I move the VM to the same host as the pfSense it gets added to the ARP table and I can ping and access...
