Hi all,
Same main question as in the last thread I posted to, but without any of
the distractions. Can a pair of redundant firewalls be used with
arpbalance without being affected by the "state race"?
I'm using a configuration pretty much identical to the following article:
* http://www.samag.com/documents/s=9658/sam0505e/
Ryan McBride seems to indicate a similar configuration at:
* http://www.countersiege.com/doc/pfsync-carp/#big
And yet another example of an apparently working setup:
* http://screamingelectron.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1571
On the other hand, the only info I've been able to that says it doesn't
work (and states essentially the same problem that I'm having) is the
following FreeBSD post:
* http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-pf@freebsd.org/msg01022.html
As for official documentation, there is nothing that difinitively states
either way. pfsync(4) states "if it is preferable that one firewall
handle the traffic..." which implies that more than one firewall can
handle the traffic.
So what's the deal?
