The combination of FreeBSD pf and the FreeBSD port of relayd should buy = you what you're looking for. I believe the FreeBSD version of pf and relayd are close enough to the = following tutorial assumptions. https://calomel.org/relayd.html You can drop CARP into the mix to get redundancy for the load balancer = itself, i.e as a pair. To be honest, it's simpler to just install a pfsense installation for = the whole package though. - Mark=
