My setup was a firewall/gateway consisting of more than 1 machine using freevrrpd thus enabling failover for the firewall/gateway. I write firewall and not firewalls since freevrrpd creates a virtual ip that is failover'ed between the machines. On the firewall/gateway pen were running and pointed towards the web servers. Pen can point at as many web servers as you like and balances the load between them in a very simple way. If the web servers are identical in setup they become redundant. DNS loadbalancing is very similar. Good luck! /Roger
