Has anyone actually managed to use these to get load-balancing to work? The Alteon literature looks fairly promising, but I am reluctant to bite the bullet and give this a shot - the Web Switches are very expensive indeed. The configuration that is recommended uses two switches either side of the firewall, with a DMZ configured on the Web switches on the dirty side of the setup. Each pair of Web switches is set up in a failover (hot standby) configuration, so there is no single point of failure. I would really love to hear from anyone who has had any hands on experience with these devices (Alteon or ArrowPoint Web Switches). The platform for the FW-1's will most likely be Nokia IPSO. Thanks people, PS. I heard some people discussion , they said we should insert 4 hubs between each L4 switch and firewall in real implementation .that can solve some routing problem. Or we can use quad card (4 port in one card) and set every port in same IP and MAC .(just like to made this quad card to be a hub) hope somebody here can give some idea and advice. - [To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe firewalls" in the body of the message.]
