      @all THX everybody for your great advice i finally found the problem today. The problem was syncing the firewall rules and load balancing settings from the master to the backup box. I deleted all settings on the backup box today and typed them by hand and my failover setup suddenly worked at last. Could it have something to do with running pfsense as a live-cd instead of installing it to a hd.  I could see the various options being synced to the backup in the web interface but they seemed to have no effect.

        I wonder if slbd started on the secondary after it's settings got sync'd.  Something for us to look into I 'spose.

          I bet it did not.  There is no code to restart SLBD and other services.

            OK…see the person that imported slbd needs to be shot for not completing it....oh wait, that was me, doh!

              Thats most likely my fault as I added the Sync code. :)

              Could we simply HUP slbd on filter reload?
