Being familiar with both platforms, you're out by the side of it TBH. Pfsense has a lot of meaty goodness, however does not have bigip LTM style ssl termination in any way or form. They are not comparable.
Right. pfSense's load balancer code is TCP only. We're a firewall w/ load balancing add-ons, not a load balancer with firewall add-ons. If you want a load balancer, buy F5 (or one of their competitors), if you want a firewall that can also balance tcp flows to your web server and check for port availability, then pfSense can handle it. Guess it really boils down to, do you want to do it for free, or $25k ? :) --Bill
