Hello, I am curious about simple round robin load balancing w/ PF. I see how simple it is to setup within the FreeBSD configuration file, but have a fairly simple question. Does PF detect if one of the addresses in the "pool" is not responsive? Or does it just blindly send traffic to all the addresses in the pool regardless? Is there some sort of heartbeat functionality or status check perhaps? Has anyone accomplished something along these lines? Load balancing would be pretty useless if I couldn't take a server out of the pool without having to re-configure PF every time. Any comments are appreciated! Thanks, Kevin www.stardothosting.com
