XMLRPC Sync to ECMP clusters
0%
Description
We scale PFSense by running ECMP though BGP and taking advantage of pfsync to keep up to six firewalls active simultaneously. As there's not currently great hooks for outside automation to synchronize rules/aliases, we'd like to take advantage of teh XMLRPC sync. It seems to be only available for a single backup to primary flow. Is it possible to scale so a realistically arbitrary number of cluster members can sync to a single central master?

That is not what the XMLRPC sync features was designed to do, or to be. It is only intended to be used for two nodes (A->B) syncing.
In the future, when we have an API, this will be a non-issue as you will be able to manage things centrally without XMLRPC.
Thus, this isn't a problem that will be solved by expanding the features of XMLRPC.
