PfSense failover… getting started
-
I'm confused why I would need three. I can see two, but where does the third one go? Also, I would like to host a web-server behind them, what ip do I submit with my domain name for dns records?
-
It's well documented in the wiki and book, each machine needs its own IP address and then they need one to share as the CARP address.
-
Ah. Okay. That's the ip for dns records… yes? And maybe a newb question, but where's the wiki? I looked over the forum home page quickly and couldn't find it.
-
It's linked in my signature. :)
-
Hey! Lookie there! Thanks!
-
I've only glanced through the wiki just now, so if you say it exists, I'll go find how to do it, but is it possible to load balance incoming and outgoing traffic through two pfsense boxes? Or is that only available for fail-over?
-
CARP is only for failover.
-
Okay. Is it possible through other means? Then I can direct my questions there.
-
It's not possible to do in any useful way. Why do you need to load balance between two firewalls at the same time?
-
I'm not sure. Just curious what all pfSense, or any router for that matter, can do.
