When 2 PIXen are configured in failover mode, only the primary is active, the other is standby. If you want to do load-sharing you can use either a layer 4-7 load balancer like the CSS1100 series from Cisco or you can play some games with a routing protocol. However, given the speed of the PIX, you may want to evaluate whether you really need load-balancing. Depending on the model used, you can get a considerable amount of traffic (> 100mbps) through a single PIX.

It you have one as failover I don't think this works. Or do you do the load balance on the switches/routers on the ends? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
