pfSense as internal FW

[LarryCheech]

Hello

Im new to vCloud which is being supplied by a third party and am trying to get a pfsense to act as an edge firewall to distribute traffic from the edge gateway to the approprite internal network. I am not sure if my goal is possible, the diagram below gives rough idea of what I am trying to do. Thanks

I don't know how to archive this.

And I  also don't know why i should do this.

vCloud Director brings it's own firewall (edge and dfw) which does exactly this (and even more)

Technically very much possible and i have done it few times . You could deploy any virtual appliance format and get it configured do a IP translation/filtering/routing etc. But this is an old school method, better leverage NSX functionalities unless your use fall under an unsupported feature.
