Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has had experience or luck installing/
configuring
pound to work on the same box as pfSense? Is there anything to be
weary
about, or special configuration that needs to be taken into
account?
Does a
precompiled binary exist for FreeBSD?
Thanks for the info!

At my company we also have an interest in this. We're very fond of
pfsense, but we think pound is far superior to the current nested
LB.
We've been internally discussing putting a bounty up to see if we
can
get some traction on it, unless someone has made the bundle
already and
we haven't seen it.
If there's anyone here who would be willing to do some of that work,
message me privately to discuss.
Not sure if it'd fit your bill, but I'm about to release a package
for
jail management on pfSense. We need this internally for hosting
pound (as
we don't want to run it on in the pfSense "context"). Idea being to
create generic jails whithin which you can install whichever
software you
wish.
Will you be / have you installed pound on the pfSense machine as
well? I
would definitely be quite interested to hear how pound is working
out and
interacting with pfSense. Please let me know if you have any
success; I
would be interested in collaborating with George on the bounty to
get this
up and running neatly under pfSense 1.2.
I can't find a bounty on forum.pfsense.org ; please post one, I might
be willing to pick it up if noone else does.
Personally I'd much prefer to have any services I need running in
jails instead of on the host itself; both for security reasons and
manageability. Plus you wouldn't be limited by the configuration
options allowed by the GUI.
