I'm looking to setup pfsense as a load balancer on my network.  I'm planning on 
running with 2 appliances mirroring each other with the carp functionality.  So 
I have 2 carp IPs currently:

X.X.X.1 (LAN carp)
Y.Y.Y.196 (WAN carp)

additionally I have:

X.X.X.3 (LAN address)
Y.Y.Y.198 (WAN address)

Y.Y.Y.196 has 443 opened and stunnel is bound to that IP/PORT
X.X.X.1 is bound by haproxy on port 8443

I setup stunnel to direct traffic to X.X.X.1:8443

From 'the world' I can see incoming connections hitting stunnel and then 
timeout on the forward to X.X.X.1:8443

After doing some digging I realized the *from the pfsense console* I cannot 
telnet into the ports open on *any* carp address.

ie:

telnet X.X.X.1 8443
telnet Y.Y.Y.196 443


Neither work from *the appliance* but both work from their respective networks 
(other machines on the LAN network, and the public internet).


I can't run the service on a non-carp address because I'll lose the HA 
functionality.
Additionally when I run haproxy on the LAN address for some reason I end up in 
an infinite redirect loop.  I think I can get to the bottom of that but it's 
critical to run these service on the carp addresses first.

Any help/tips?
