Re: Checkpoint FW-1 & ATM performance degradation

[icakmakli]

Hi,

Execuse me. Which product are you thinking to use as a H.A. solution for
FW-1? I have searched a Load Balancing Solution for ATM FW-1 a year ago,
and I've found none.

Regards.

This was with NT, right? Mmm... it looks like it's 130 Mbps max
then. Interesting. That way if I load balance only two decent machines I'd
be all set.

Great. Thanks for the info.
