ESXi 3 + 3 virtual pfSense 1.2.2-VM "boxes"
-
Hi,
because I only have 2 PPoE lines, and 2.0 isn't stable yet i am trying this:wan(ppoe)–-pfsense---
>-----pfsense(firewalling, loadbalancing)----lan
wan(ppoe)---pfsense---... all in an vmware esxi 3.5 environment ...
a) could it work with maybe virtual network devices? i just have 3 network cards.
b) will there be problems with ppoe?[edit]:
after reading some information it is possible to setup virtualized ethernet-cards, but i dont think that this is possible with esx 3.5i+infrastructure client. i will give full vspere evaluation a try…would be great if smo. could tell if he setup'd a design like above with esxi 3.5 - and what tools are necessary.
[edit2]:
after some searching i found the virtual lan editor + virtual switches. later more… -
I know that CARP will do it. I have had it working with XenServer with one DLS connection. I had trouble getting it to fail back correctly. That was with a much ealier verison and I have not tested it again. But I know it works.
