bump/me too.  With the recent announcement of XenServer being fully open sourced, we are starting the testing phase of moving our ESXi (free) servers (currently 70+) and have around 10 pfSense VMs in the mix that would greatly benefit from xstools.

+1 :)

I too am evaluating Xenserver 6.2 to migrate from ESXi and would like to know if the xentools exists and would like to hear from your experience running pfSense on Xen

pfsense runs on FreeBSD… XenServer does not support FreeBSD at this time, therefore XenTools will not work.

I highly recommend against virtualizing pfsense in a XenServer environment as you will encounter performance degradation from the kernel running in an emulated state.

I currently run two virtual pfsense instances on XenServer but only for backend VPN access, and basic internet access. Most of my tests I was unable to exceed 30Mb/s from the virtual pfsense instances.

Hopefully this will be addressed soon, or maybe it already has... but I haven't seen anything as of yet.
