This sounds like a sweet setup, the failover is one of the big reasons I am
looking at this software.
When you say "make a change", do you mean a change to the software versions
etc. or just simple things like adding rules and such?
Should I expect it to break by just using it or are you referring to
upgrades to the core product etc?

If you have two firewalls and are going to do failover I'd say go for it.
If you only have one you can't make a change and see if it breaks stuff
and still recover quickly. If you have two you can simply disable CARP on
the malfunctioning firewall until its fixed. Its worked well for me and I
haven't had any issues that resulted in any downtime.

I am new to the list and PfSense, hope you folks don't mind a few newb
questions from me over the next few days.
The first and most important one is this...
I have 8 or 10 web/email type servers to protect at one of our locations.
I know that PfSense is an Alpha product and it would be my own fault if I
used it for production use and got burnt.
However, I have been looking at the website for a few months and, well, I
need a solution and this looks great!
So, my question is, would any of you folks out there who may be
protecting web/email servers that are pretty much mission critical to
your business, dare use this product right now to do so?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!
