Personally I would steer away from pfSense when multiple WAN connections are involved. It's designed
for a single WAN connection on a single IP address serving a moderately sized corporate NAT LAN, and
does that quite well (best fit for that use case IMHO), but load balancing and failover and such are
definitely _not_ its strong suit. At least that was my experience the last time I worked with it
about six months ago.

I think Endian is a very good choice but little bit old, like pfsense. I think you are going to like
BRFirewall (http://www.brazilfw.com.br/forum/), it's also based on Linux.

There are so many OS's that wouks probably meet your requirements. I have persinnaly setup both
pfsense and smoothwall. I would highly rexxommend pfSense handsdown, that OS is very scalable and
would do the work of some very high equipment. Install it in a VM first see how it goes.

Good luck!


Thanks,
Adrian

Thanks. ClearOS is the same as pfsense, but not based on freebsd; its
based on RHEL.

List,

What are your opinions about using ClearOS/Endian UTM instead of a
CentOS/RHEL install with addition configuration? (Keep in mind that
the Gateway needs to route traffic from 2 asdl routers, filter content
and manage bandwidth)

Looking out to hear from you,
