Hello list, This is NOT a troll. This is NOT a flame. Do NOT hijack this thread to troll/flame. I'm writing this in light of the *many* problem reports I see on the lists with 9.0-RELEASE. I'm getting extremely worried here. Short introduction in order: See, we use FreeBSD at work for our firewall boxes, running: - PF + CARP + PFsync - nagios-nrpe - munin-node - bacula client and either - nginx and/or haproxy - relayd These boxes serve as frontend firewalls for all our projects/products, including a few high traffic ones. For example our most traffic intense project has 4 firewalls, 2 each on 2 different datacenters, sharing 4 CARP IPs with automagic failover. These firewalls total ~200mb/s , serving only minifi'ed javascript pages. Now, I find the number of problem reports regarding 9.0-RELEASE alarming and I'm growing more and more fearful towards it. In the current state of things, I have *absolutely* no wish to run it in production :( I'd love to hear feedback.
