At my company we also have an interest in this.  We're very fond of  
pfsense, but we think pound is far superior to the current nested LB.   
We've been internally discussing putting a bounty up to see if we can  
get some traction on it, unless someone has made the bundle already  
and we haven't seen it.

If there's anyone here who would be willing to do some of that work,  
message me privately to discuss.

Thanks,

Not sure if it'd fit your bill, but I'm about to release a package for  
jail management on pfSense. We need this internally for hosting pound  
(as we don't want to run it on in the pfSense "context"). Idea being  
to create generic jails whithin which you can install whichever  
software you wish.

Will you be / have you installed pound on the pfSense machine as well?  I 
would definitely be quite interested to hear how pound is working out and 
interacting with pfSense.  Please let me know if you have any success; I 
would be interested in collaborating with George on the bounty to get this 
up and running neatly under pfSense 1.2.

Thanks,

Eric

I can't find a bounty on forum.pfsense.org ; please post one, I might  
be willing to pick it up if noone else does.
Personally I'd much prefer to have any services I need running in  
jails instead of on the host itself; both for security reasons and  
manageability. Plus you wouldn't be limited by the configuration  
options allowed by the GUI.
