      Hi,

      I have a simple question, I am using pfsense as a loadbalancer for several web servers and I'd like to know how it detects when a webserver is offline. Is it a ping or something?  Im really interested in the mechanics of it.

      Thanks,
      Sean

        Depends on which monitor you're using, either ping or TCP connect. Detailed description in http://pfsense.org/book

          Thanks.

          I own the book, one of the best dead tree editions I own. It is well written and nicely illustrated.

          Thanks,
          Sean
