The combination of FreeBSD pf and the FreeBSD port of relayd should buy you what you're looking for. I believe the FreeBSD version of pf and relayd are close enough to the following tutorial assumptions. https://calomel.org/relayd.html You can drop CARP into the mix to get redundancy for the load balancer itself, i.e as a pair. To be honest, it's simpler to just install a pfsense installation for the whole package though. - Mark _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
