Yep - inbound!  While I respect the marvel that is PFSense's outbound load 
balancing, I prefer using BGP costs and IS-IS weights at the router.  By the 
way, when will PFSense support OSPF and IS-IS?  ;)

On topic - failover mode (as opposed to load balanced mode) should work 
correctly if I can get the virtual servers set up, correct?

This is one more reason why FTP sucks.  Not that the world needed another one.
