Re: [pfSense] Sanity check on Routing with pfSense

2013-05-24 Thread Jeffrey Mealo
It's good to hear some people are having luck. I really want to run pfSense
but am plagued by the following:

   1. Empty TCP checksums [hardware offloading disabled on guest and
   hypervisor] [ CARP + Load balancing of service ]
   2. First ping is always 3-10ms, subsequent pings are < 1ms.*
   3. Dupe errors when pinging CARP VIP.

* This only happens in pfSense, other KVM guests (Ubuntu) work fine.

I've been working on this for over a week and already reached out to the
mailing list, IRC channel and forums.

Can anyone offer some help?

I've documented my issues extensively in the following forum posts which
include a diagram of my network setup:

Thanks,
Jeff

I agree - 

We offer pFsense in our datacenter here in Worthington Ohio and have a large 
number of folks using pF as well as KVM via Proxmox VE. 
Very stable - runs well.

That's generally not true, it's widely used on many including KVM.

It has? I haven't noticed any, and I'm running it on some 40-50 
machines, since 2011 or so. This is Debian Squeeze with KVM.


Care to elaborate?

[pfSense] Sanity check on Routing with pfSense

2013-05-24 Thread j...@millican.us

Hello,
I am working with my current ISP to build  scenario like the following:
ISP -> x.x.x.x/29 -> pfSense(redundant with CARP) -> internal real and 
virtual servers on x.x.x.x/27 (possible divided into a few /29s)
All IPs are Public routable addresses.  The ISP will use one of the /29 
host IPs for their router and obviously I will need one IP for each of 
the WAN interfaces on the two pfSense boxes and one for the first CARP 
ip. That leaves me 2 "spare" addresses to use later.  I am planning to 
use these down the road as a network segmentation scheme.
Am I missing anything that is gong to make this plan unfeasible? And 
yes, there is a good reason for doing this involving services (such as 
sip) that do not play well with NAT and the fact that due to 
architecture some virtual servers may be behind NAT within the internal 
environment which would mean NAT'ing a NAT'ed address.

Thank You,
JohnM
