Do you have experience with PFsense on VMWare ESXi?
Initial guesses are that we got a bad beta build, or that the config is somehow borked; My first try was going to be to revert to snapshot and bring in the firewall rules manually, rather than importing the old config (which might be the problem, as the old firewall was a much older version of PFSense)
Per my previous email, this will be resolved on Saturday AM at the latest; Anyone who wants to learn by doing (along with me, as I'm pretty new to this myself) is welcome to assist :)
