If balancing is what you need, then use the load balancer built into pfSense. If active/passive, then while the load balancer will also work fine, you might try one of the server high availability solutions available outside of pfSense (CARP for the BSDs, linux's HA stuff, etc - again Google will get you going there) > Its amazing because it even keeps the state. FWIW, to correct a few misstatements you've made in this thread. "CARP requires a dedicated cable" - not correct, CARP is a multi-cast protocol that is broadcast on the same network segment as the address for it. "it (CARP) even keeps the state" - not correct, pfsync keeps state synchronization. It's also highly recommended (as it's not cryptographically secure) to run this on a dedicated cable. --Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
