Dear Scott (and other developers)
As I mentioned the other day, we're very interested in WAN failover
capability, and it appears that there are others who would also like this
functionality.
I'm interested to know whether this feature is under consideration for
future releases of pfSense, or how hard it would be to implement. It would
seem to be within reach, given the existing WAN load balancing feature.
Would this feature be a candidate for a 'bounty'? The company I'm working
for is very open to exploring this possibility, and would likely be willing
to offer payment in order to accelerate the development of the WAN failover
feature.
We're purely exploring possibilities here, so I'd be interested in your
thoughts.
It's certainly of interest and something I've spent some amount of
time working on. With Holger being at the upcoming hackathon, I'm
hoping he'll setup an environment for us to do this work on (I
certainly don't have a setup for it at home). As I'm already
interested in doing it and waiting on the hackathon to work on it, I
don't know that a bounty per se is necessary, but a donation to the
cause in the name of WAN Failover would be useful. Holger and I have
numerous travel expenses (he's coming over to the States from Germany)
that we'd love to offset.
At some point in the next few days I'll put up a blog entry as to what
I'm planning on working on if anyone is interested in donating to a
specific item.
