      I want to use one pfSense 2 box in front of two web servers as a failover system.  I do NOT want load balancing since the web application does not support shared session data (yet).  For now it would be good enough if both web servers are running, using a shared database server, and pfSense sends all traffic to one host.  If that host fails I want pfSense to send all traffic to the other host.  Therefore, no load balancing, just failover.  Is this possible in pfSense?  I have read the inbound load balancing documents but I cannot see from that whether one can make this work without the load balancing part and just the failover part?

          Thanks.  Any pointers to documentation for setting this up?  If not I'll try to figure it out…
