      It depends to a point how your server farm is configured and how the distribution of user sessions is done. Some application get better performance letting the load balancer move the sessions from server to server. This can not be done if you are in effect using a VPN tunnel...ie a ssl session.

        @nateliv Stay away from the Load Balancer because:

        If you must have your load balancer on pfSense, HAProxy is the way forward. You can put one certificate on the front end and it can load balance X backends.
