My suggestion is to stick with what you are familiar with on the firewall
end and put in some Radware FireProof firewall load balancers to take care
of the redundancy and throughput issues. That is probably the best solution
available. With this solution you could mix and match PIX & FW-1's.
Basically the Fireproof keeps a heartbeat on all firewalls and sends traffic
to best one at that moment. If one fails, it is taken out of the loop and
nobody is the wiser.

Subject: Firewall suggestions?
I've got a client that has asked for a highly redundant firewall system.
My first thought was:
"Firewall-1 and a few netras with a Legato card,
or maybe some ipso's".
Now they've told me that they need This system to handle upwards of 60
Mega bits per second on a very consistant basis.
Does anyone have a good idea of what hardware would be required to meet
this need with a Checkpoint FW1 solution?
Should I start looking at the PIX, with which I have very little
experience?
