For failover to work both PIXen must be the same model, have the same OS, and same number of interfaces. I would suggest using switches to connect like PIX interfaces. i.e. one switch (or VLAN) for the outside PIX interfaces, one switch for the DMZ interfaces, one switch for the inside interfaces. If you used that topology then the web server would only need one NIC which would connect to the DMZ switch. Check out the PIX OS documentation for the meaning of PIX. Something like Packet Internet eXchange.
