      Our bandwidth requirements have grown and I'm wondering if pfSense will be the right tool for the job in this scenario. We currently have a Sonicwall on our edge, and a layer 3 switch behind that handling all of the Lan and Inter-VLAN routing. Would it be feasible to replace that L3 switch with a pfSense appliance? I'm not able to find any Netgate docs or blogs where someone is accomplishing something similar. My end goal is to have my Sonicwall handle Wan to Lan firewalling, pfSense handle Lan to Lan firewalling, and no NAT on pfSense.
