[pfSense Support] Bridge hw failover question
Hi, i am having some problems with running two pfsense firewalls as bridges, the switches in fron and behind both support STP but it is not activated. I have ipadresses both on the external interfaces (fo management) and the internal (just for fun) and i have a external carp interface.. dont think i need it but the rules/states seemd to sync better.. When i activate the filtering bridge and bridge the interface it works for a while then the traffic going in to the servers start going rely slow.. But no errors on the switches.. If i disabe one of the bridges the problem fixes it self.. Any toughts ? maby activating STP on the ports the firewalls are on on the switches ? Bytheway.. the hardware we are using NA-820 from www.axiomtek.com, some interrupt storms but oher then that it works great.. pfsense version: pfSense-1.2-RC2-Embedded.img.gz Mvh Daniel Rapp Incabus Systems AB Mobil: + 46 708 31 80 75 Växel: + 46 8 556 964 60 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.incabus.com smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

RE: [pfSense Support] DNS Issues with 1.2 RC2
I personally use OpenDNS for everything since theyre outside of what the ISP handles. only downside is that if it cannot resolve a domain for HTTP, it pulls up their search page instead. -Sean From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: support@pfsense.com Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2007 09:20:52 -0400 Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] DNS Issues with 1.2 RC2 I will try this later to see what the result is.

Re: [pfSense Support] Custom startup scripts
You can't make init scripts in the XML config file, no. I don't think it's quite within the scope of a configuration file to store scripts, anyway. But if you have something you want to be run on boot, use shellcmd and earlyshellcmd. Tortise wrote: Can this be done via the xml to be truly portable?

Nope, not enough. I run pfsense in 2 places (1.0.1 and 1.2beta-some), with caching dns enabled. Several times a day browsers just give a bogus domain doesn't exist. With a particular banking website I have yet to see a name resolution first time; as it's blowing up in 1s I conclude something, somewhere, doesn't even *try* to resolve.
