Holger, We have everything disabled in terms of CARP etc. We have narrowed this down to the firewall as we only get the problem when the firewall is enabled.
The end game for us is to provide failover via CARP from some public IP to the web services. Which we have had functioning and works well. Its just the packet loss while traversing the firewall that is causing us grief.

If yes make sure that everything is configured correctly and the machines don't failover back and forth for some reason. Switching Master/Backup state all the time could produce this kind of packetloss.

Let me give you some background. I have 2 pfsense boxes running on p4 3Ghz 2Gb RAM HP Servers with 4 interfaces in each. Sitting behind the pfsense boxes are 3 freebsd boxes running web services. From the WAN when we perfom a simple test (approx 6 packets per second) to the web services we intermittently experience packet loss to the extent that our test fails. If I turn the firewall off in pfsense this issue goes away. Hopefully someone can shed some light of this little problem CHeers This email and any attachment(s) is intended only for the use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain information that is confidential and privileged.
