>From what I can gather from the conversations that I have had with the

Just to let you folks know we created a connection between a stand alone CPW
and my pix and is worked great once I cleared up the SA. The config info can
be retrieved from www.cisco.com/warp/public/110/cp-p.html

I was just going to ping the far side LAN to create the error I was getting
yesterday when I hit the Cluster and I found that it is now working.

I talked to the owner just now and asked him what he did. He said he
modified the Vnats (?) manually and got it working. He will send me info to
detail what he did which I will pass on to you.

PS he plans to join the firewall list. {8->

I would want to know whose failover functionality
is being used: CHeckpoint's failover feature or Nokia's VRRP. Also the
Checkpoint fw pair needs to be defined as a "Cluster" The Checkpoint needs
to SP3 or later and the follwing change needs to me made to make all packets
originate with the "CLuster IP"

1. Upgrade both management console and firewall module to FireWall-1 4.1 SP3
or later. 

2. Add the IPSec_cluster_nat property to the :props set in the
$FWDIR/conf/objects.C on Management Module

               :IPSec_cluster_nat (true)

Rod,

I hope that the CP Gurus can shed light on this.

If you configure the PIX to build an IPsec tunnel to a CP at xxx.xxx.xxx.0 
and the CP at xxx.xxx.xxx.1 responds, the PIX won't want to build a 
tunnel.  Should it?  I don't think so.

I have seen this before but it was resolved by not using the CP VPN 
failover feature.  Those folks didn't really give it a good college 
try.  They had to make it work (quickly within a change control 
window).  Maybe you will have better luck?

Liberty for All,

Brian
