It looks like I have two options: 1. Remove the rules manually from the config file from each system in the cluster. 2. Download a backup, remove the rules manually, then restore the backup. Those are your options. When you delete an interface it orphans its rules in the config (IIRC that's not the case in 2.0). Thanks - went for option #2 which worked great and thanks to the cluster, only had a couple seconds of downtime. -Dave - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
