[pfSense-discussion] layer 4-7 load balancing
Is anyone using pfSense to perform load balancing (and failover) for two or more web servers in a redundant configuration? Bonus points for being able to also perform SSL offloading. Our application server uses HTTP cookies to maintain sessions, so it is important that the load balancer be able to maintain connection to a specific web server for the life of the cookie. Something like these things: http://www.ultramonkey.org/about.shtml http://www.coyotepoint.com/products/e250.php Is this within the scope of the pfSense project?

Yes, lots, but in more generic setups. Bonus points for being able to also perform SSL offloading. Our application server uses HTTP cookies to maintain sessions, so it is important that the load balancer be able to maintain connection to a specific web server for the life of the cookie. The session stickiness is based on firewall states, which isn't going to guarantee that it's tied to that server for the life of the cookie. Current stable versions don't provide the kind of functionality you require for that. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: discussion-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: discussion-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
