    You can script that with wget. Some searching here will find scripts and other examples.

    subnetmask.info is a useful site, you tell it how many nodes you need and the base network and it will tell you what subnet mask and other stuff you need.

    You're blocking bogons on your WAN interface which is populated by a file which is regularly updated.  pfSense downloads this file regularly.  That's what you're seeing in the logs.

    There isn't any such build at this time. May be in the future, probably with FusionPBX rather than our Freeswitch package (the creator of which, mcrane, went on to create FusionPBX). There are a lot of people using the Freeswitch package though. Just not an appliance build specifically for it.

    @torontob: 1- I want to know how the backup can be triggered? Would OS boot automatically fall to the second partition if the first fails? 2- Would it be by simply choosing option 2 at boot time? 3- What is the way to set the mirror as the default at start-up? 4- Are the configurations copied between the two mirrors as a system is built? If not, really this other partition is useless and waste of space isn't it? Since, it's probably much more cleaner and might take the same time to re-image the whole thing anyhow. you have to choose it at boot time. yes Diag>Nanobsd there is one shared config partition. It's primarily if you want to upgrade one and have the option to revert back to the previous version. (with caveats for drastically different versions, like 1.2.3 vs. 2.0, where the configs aren't compatible)

    Just remove it. Without the % it logs to just normal plain text files. Be aware, you will have to monitor the logs and either rotate them manually or setup an automated process.

    You may need multiple overrides for variations of the domain. ( like example.com and www.example.com )

    Virtual IPs are exactly what you want to use.  Consider implementing 1:1 NAT for your servers which means the virtual IP addresses will live on the WAN interface of your pfSense box and each unique IP will be NAT'd to the specific server you want to give access to.  Depending on the security stance of your network, it would be a good idea to consider putting your Internet facing devices in your OPT1 network and implementing firewall rules to limit their access into your LAN.

    It would be better to assign your second static IP as a VIP on WAN, and then use 1:1 NAT to associate it with your internal server. If you only had that server on a segment, you could bridge it to WAN and assign it directly, but that isn't advisable (or workable) if you have other items on LAN that are privately numbered which need NAT applied.

    Unless you are assigning those DNS servers directly to clients in those subnets with DHCP, it can't be done in that way. The DNS forwarder can't pick and choose which upstream server to use for clients in that way.

    Complexity is also the enemy of security (and reliability). If the guy needs a file server, why should he be forced to use three OSes (bare metal and two VMs), a hypervisor, some virtualised networking between the VMs, and beefier (and therefore hotter) hardware to do it, when he could just use a puny box, one OS, and the firewall and file server directly within it? I guess someone thought that about FreeSWITCH (great feature!) at some point, too. Just pointing out that there are two sides to the coin, and sometimes different answers for different needs.
