      Many companies have 2 links - 2 ISP.
      In my case we have link (link1) with PFsense1 and another link (link2) in another department with Cisco FW.
        link1                                    link2
      pfsense1–---- pfsync--        Cisco FW
          |                            \          |
          |                            ---- pfsense2
          |                                        |

      Problems in asymmetric routing - half session goes throw link2 and half goes back throu link1. PFsense drop half connections.
      Can we set another Pfsense installation for link2 (pfsense2), for example in transparent/bridge mode, without any rules, but with pfsync, which can synchronize state tables with pfsense1.
      And no more dropped connections.
