@elvisnld:
By one system, you mean one pfsense firewall?.
I know i can't make it a redundant pfsense ' cluster' this way, we stepped away from that approach because of difficulties with VRRP on the wan from the isp, not pfsense's fault as we know, thank you Cisco and IETF ::)
You can still use CARP where your provider is using VRRP (though it may create some log noise on both sides, it will work perfectly fine), just make sure you're using different VHIDs.
I read that in the book, but i wasn't brave or skilled enough at that time. :P
@elvisnld:
If i want to use Haproxy on my pfsense fw to LB to my lan-based servers what is the way to go for the vips? carp?
Which ever you want, if you have one it doesn't matter which you use.
ok, clear.
Kewl, this i aparentlly didn't fully understand from the book then, now i do
The information here: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/What_are_Virtual_IP_Addresses%3F should be updated a bit then.
it's a bit misleading. But thank you very much for explaining it!
