Hi, 1) 6.2 is not out yet...we are still at 6.1(x) 2) Since pix 5.X release, Stateful failover is supported and it will replicate TCP connection except the HTTP (port 80) connections. 3) In 6.0, Stateful failover will replicate all TCP connections including the HTTP connections. 4) The Ethernet connection you are referring to is not the "LAN failover" that will be included in the 6.2 code. Cisco says that Stateful Failover requires a 100 Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet interface to be used exclusively for passing state information between the two PIX Firewall units. BUT in that scenario, you STILL NEED the special failover cable. So distance between boxes must be very close. 5) With LAN failover, you will not need this special failover cable so you can install your standby unit at the other end of your building if you want.
