Hi,

I have a pfSense box with 5 wan links, 1 wan and 1 dmz and
the load balancing and policy based routing in pfSense is
simply fantastic.

The one missing feature that I would like to see, is the ability to
specify the source-hash or sticky-address option in pf pools.
With this, I would be able to load balance troublesome websites
and protocols (eg. pptp) instead of pushing them all through the
default gateway.

I noticed that Bill M's pf sticky patches to slbd got included circa
Beta2. Will we be able to use this feature anytime soon?

Simply touch /var/etc/use_pf_pool__stickyaddr

From vsvc_rules.c:

vsvc_rules.c: if(fexist("/var/etc/use_pf_pool__stickyaddr") == 1) {
