The Cisco CSS11xxx can do NAT without degrading performance. I have had excellent experiences setting this up for clients.

[7:42974] Dumb question, does any of these devices use nat? I just read that pix to DMZ interface uses dNat, not sure if that is faster. I was reading my Alteon Web Switch book last night, it says you CAN do nat, but I don't know if layer 4-7 switches actually DO nat normall. If it's a switch, it should be switching right, the translation gets done in layer 4. kinda confused..... -----Original Message----- From: Gragido, William [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 12:09 PM To: Brian Zeitz; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Pix load balance? [7:42974] The best way to load balance is to use an application layer (layer 4-7) switch. I am not too familiar with Cisco's offering of this technology (sadly), but have worked extensively with Foundry's ServerIrons and they are excellent devices! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Brian Zeitz Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 8:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Pix load balance? [7:42974] Load balancing is supposed to be done on content switches according to what I am reading. I cannot be done on the firewall withing the site, nor can it be done with different ISPs.

[7:42974] What's the reason? I'm not disputing the fact, just wondering what the limitation is. I take it that the limitation is only that it cannot do stateful failover with two active PIXes?
