      Hi pros
      i would love to know how i can achieve this:
      i have two pfsense 2.03 servers
      one is main and one is backup, they are synced with carp (direct eth cable and dedicated interfaces)
      each is connected to its own port on the wan switch
      and its own port on the internal switch

      currently all traffic passes through the main pfsense
      how can i make the two pfsense machines load balance in addition to the failover?

      thanks in advance!! ::)

        You can't. CARP only does failover (active/passive) and not active/active. Yet, anyhow. Might happen far off in the future.

            Actually it depends on your setup…..automatic load balance not possible....but you can do manual redirect traffic to different pfsense server based on CARP priority on multiple VLANs setup.
