Certain things around Linux routers concern me, in particular their handling of certain BGP scenerios (quagga). BSD might solve those problems, a lot of people recommend it, but basically we were done "experimenting". Network redundancy gets complex fast when you want to cover more than just a single router totally going down. | |

| Jan 16, 2012 at 21:33 | comment | added | Kyle Brandt | Well we have outbound traffic, fetching updates from the windows update example, so there is stuff that has no reason to go through haproxy (vpn connections would be another example). In terms of web requests however, they do all go through HAProxy off the top of my head. | |
| Jan 16, 2012 at 21:27 | comment | added | codecompleting | oh so you mean some requests bypass haproxy load balancers? and w/o haproxy, you wouldn't have the same level of control on traffic which pfSense gives you. | |
