      I've been using pfSense for a few days now and absolutely love it! It is exactly what I've needed for quite some time. I was using Ubuntu Server as a router until a few days ago when I received some computers to replace my existing servers. pfSense was a much better choice to use for my router than Ubuntu, and most router distros for several reasons. I REALLY appreciated how quickly I was able to deploy the server that included many options that would have required a great deal of my time to setup on Ubuntu.

      That said, the remaining two servers will be LAMP servers. I hope to run a cluster for Apache2 and MySQL, which means I need to run a management node. Could I install the necessary software on the pfSense box to make it my management node, or would I need to aquire another server?

      Thank you,
      Chris
