Hello Jesús,

Hi, Leandro:
Maybe you will be luckier if you explain a bit of the "why" instead of only the "what".

The why is this: http://www.pfsense.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=40&Itemid=43 I need at least 70% of those features and I don't want to deal with every new setup I do. Trying to apply the DRY principle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_repeat_yourself) when dealing with several networks while keeping the same features and homogeneity of the installs.


arno-iptables-firewall is pretty good but it still lacks some of the
funcionalities I am looking for.

Like...


Captive Portal, Web Interface, stats, etc.
I am considering running PFSense on something like Xen/ESXi, have any of
you guys done that before?

It seems to defeat its very purpouse. Except for testing I don't see what for (and I doubt even this, since it's a routing device, I'd try to test on "real iron" to avoid problems).
I don't agree it would defeat it's very purpose.
Since I posted that, I've been talking to some people on IRC that told me they implemented PFSense on ESXi on medium sizes networks (~500 nodes) with 1G of RAM and it was running under 15% of cpu and about 25% of IO average, which sounds pretty good.

I might try this with some "manual failover" on my hands, just in case... :)

Thank you all for the answers.
