Hi, forget about this. The configuration would be too difficult and I doubt whether it is possible at all. Do full load balancing (load sharing). Clustering is included in the IPSO already. If you want to have load sharing take a look at cluster XL from Checkpoint.
If you really want to have the best cluster solution look at fullcluster from stonesoft.com. It does load allocation dynamically. Michael Schwartzkopff Am Dienstag, 7.
