      Guys,
      I am attemting to achieved server load balancing using pfsense, running into some difficulty with it.

      I have 2 webservers located in the lan
      server 1(ip):10.2.100.5- GW:10.2.100.1
      Server 2(ip):10.2.100.7- GW:10.2.100.1

      WAN IP:10.2.100.252 & LAN IP:10.2.100.1 for the Pfsense.

      I have created a pool using the above server ip to load balance http(80) traffic and the virtual server IP:10.2.100.4.
      I have ensure no traffic is being blocked by the firewall.

      If i attempt to access the webservers via the virtual server ip:10.2.100.4, the traffic is redirected to webserver 10.2.100.7 on all occassions.
      the servers are accisible using their individual IP but i am unable to load balance the http traffic to both server, seems like pfsense is not
      splitting the traffic to the individual servers.

      I have been searching documentation to fix it, hence posting on the forum.
      Please guide me if i am missing anything.
