2x pfsense in failover, with standalone vpn firewall… how to route?
-
Hi,
I'm currently working on a setup that has 2 vmware pfsense 2.0 firewalls in a failover configuration. Instead of having the VPN's go to my primary (and secondary) firewall, i would like them to go to a standalone VPN firewall.
This poses a bunch of questions/challenges.
1. the vpn firewall would need an interface in the same subnets as the primary firewall (of course)
2. routing… i COULD make a manual route to the desired subnet on a given host... but that's just stupid.
3. how do i exchange the relevant routing information? would this be possible by installing the openbgp package? or maybe by rip? -
Sorry i have no answer for you, but you have struck interest in me here.. i have just been wondering how i can go about creating a second mirrored pfsense for redundancy.. is that actually possible? I have 1 physical pfsense box currently.. but i do have a VMWare ESXi server that i can run multiple VM's on..
