Hi Bernardo, This is true, I am using it as a failover feature only but there is an option for load balancing too. the failover works just fine but you need either Linux or secure platform to be able to use this features as per Checkpoint warning note at the setup screen. after you create the GW you will see the option of ISP redundancy under topology. Its very easy to configure.( I think they started supporting it with R55 release)

You mentioned the use of 2 different ISPs. My specific problem is that my client actually has only 1 ISP and 2 different links connected to 2 separate routers. They don't want to be vulnerable to a router failure. I've been doing a little research and a friend told me that I could use ISP redundancy in CP so that I can have 2 Default Gateways. Is this true? Thanks again!

Do a search on BGP in your favorite search engine and you will find enough stuff to make you woozy. You will need to work with your providers and have them coordinate an autonomous system (AS) number for you, and you will need a pretty beefy router capable of handling a HUGE routing table. Here's one place to start. http://www.bgp4.as/ Hal > -----Original Message----- > From: Bernardo Santos Wernesback [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 8:52 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [FW-1] ISP Redundancy > > > Hi all, > > I am looking for some documentation on implementing ISP > Redundancy.
