      Hello, we have an interesting situation and I was wondering if someone could help.

      We are an Internet search engine and we have around 25 firewalls, each in different netblocks, and I was wondering if I could use Haproxy to round robin the firewalls.

      We have around 700 crawlers, so I thought an easy way to load balance these firewalls would be to set up Haproxy on a pfsense for them all to use as their gateway, and then it would round robin the request to each firewall.  The reason I want to use pfsense is I have 5 VLANs that all these machines are in, so each VLAN could talk to the HAproxy(PFsense) server easily.

      Is that possible?

      Thanks
