>From experience I found the built in one to work well. The ha-proxy one
appears to work, but gave me a few issues, so I dropped it. I found that I
had to manually edit the configuration file by SSHing into the box. I
feared an upgrade of pfsense or the package would blow it all out.
Also, you may find that you want to use both for different services.
HA-proxy can provide,again through manual config file edits, a higher level
of configuration.
