Hi, A) No B) No
Work arounds are to do this on a separate Cisco router - e.g. Border router perhaps. Cisco routers have good QoS, and also have a rotary NAT feature that load balances incoming packets sent to a global IP to multiple private Ips. This feature however is very simple and is nowhere near the capabilities of HTTP load balancing on Check Point (NG at least). There is also a server load balancing feature in some Cisco routers, not familiar with this though. I'd say keep the Check Point - why are you pushing it out? Maintenance expired?

I have questions about Pix firewalls. We are a small company, less than 50 people. a) Does pix firewall support QOS, traffic shaping or traffic prioritization? The checkpoint firewall we are using has a feature called "flood-gate" that can prioritize both inbound and outbound traffic. We would like to have this feature in Pix firewall as well. b) Does pix support http load balancing? Checkpoint has a feature that supports http load-balancing for inbound traffic. We need this feature to load balance our web servers. I would like to have this feature in pix as well. We don't have the budget for dedicated load-balancer such as Cisco CSS. Open freeware is out of the question, will not fly pass management. Can pix do those things above without additional hardware? Regards, Eric --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
