Internal load balance SMTP/POP3 servers
-
Hey All,
Sorry if this has been asked and answered already. I seem to get hung up on load balanced pfsense
chaos.I have two internal smtp and pop3 servers {shared storage mailboxes}. However when I opened the NAT
firewall rule I can only specify one destination IP address. Is it possible to set the NAT rule on my Pfsense
router to allow connections to either SMTP or POP3 server externally? Externally I only have one IP address
via my ISP. Is this whats hosing me?Pfsense 2.0-BETA3

You can either put an alias there with many ips or just use services->load balancer

Also, be aware if you're traffic shaping and you're using secure pop3-s / smtp-s, you'll need to add those rules in the TS otherwise, regular mail will be faster than email.
