Hello... I've recently been tasked with coming up with a redundant/failover firewall= solution to replace our managed firewalls. The goal is to have more contro= l, and spen dless money. So, after some research I decided FreeBSD with ipf= w and vrrp would do the trick. I set out to in stall and configure everythi= ng. I noticed when trying to install vrrp from ports that it's been tagged = forbidden, and confirmed this after searching the -security archives. The p= roblem I'm running into is this. I grabbed the code that /usr/ports/net/vrr= p would have, and built it, but the implementation has some problems. Once = failed over (slave taking over for master), it does not fail back without i= ntervention. If you down an interface with a vrid on it, somehow the vip st= ays in the interface causing problems. My basic question is this. Is there = anyone else out there running redundant/failover firewalls using freebsd? I= f so, what are you running? I found one other piece of software at http://l= inux-ha.org that said would build on freebsd, but no such luck. If anyone h= as any ideas, pointers, products, or thwaps in the right direction, i'd app= reciate them.
