      I have a server in DMZ that need to be shuted down in case of power lose. The pfsense has a running apcupsd service as a master (server). I was able to get communication to apcupsd master to slave (client) on the LAN, but I can't get apcupsd data through FW to devices in DMZ. What I have to setup in FW to get apcupsd data to the server in DMZ?

        There is nothing special at all. The client (server in DMZ) has to pull the data from the NIS server on pfSense.

        To let the NIS server listen on any interface IP, set it to 0.0.0.0. Add a firewall rule on DMZ to allow access to the port 3551, or which your NIS is using on, to the DMZ address.
        And configure the client to pull the information from the pfSense DMZ IP.
