Thanks for the reply. Looks like my user center account doesn't have access to that SK.

Actually, I had already tried it with dashes instead of underlines, but tried what you've mentioned on my test boxes. I still don't get the active member of cluster acknowledging the second VIP. Dashboard is fine with it, firewalls allow me to push simple rulebase to cluster, but the active member never arps for the second VIP.

I do see an error in fwd.elg on both test boxes that makes me wonder. I see that there's an SK30154 that talks to this, but again I can't reach it. Have to figure out what happened to my co's support I guess:
fwarp_initialize_myself: unable to find mac address for interface eth1_1
fw_auto_arp: Unable to initialize

So I have to statically set a mac address for eth1_1 on each box that matches eth1, and then clusterxl will pick it up? Or will this give me two boxes arping for the secondary vip?

Don't use the colon in the FW interface name.  For example use "eth0_0".
See sk25674 for more info.

This is probably a rhetorical question, but why does Checkpoint allow
the usage of subinterfaces in SPLAT if the Checkpoint software can't
handle their usage???

- SPLAT, like all linux, has subinterfaces available, of the format
eth#:#. That way you can have multiple IP's on the same physical interface.
- Checkpoint Dashboard cannot see the subint's in a GET request, and
cannot handle colons in interface names when defining topology.
- This renders the usage of subinterfaces in a ClusterXL pair invalid
and and apparently impossible.

Has anyone managed to set up SPLAT-ClusterXL-HA pair with multiple
virtual IP's per physical interface without rearchitecting and using
VLANs (just a tad hard with an enterprise DMZ with 350+ hosts in it)?

I'm doing it in IPSO, just because ipso is doing the heavy lifting of
virtual ip setups. I wanted to move to SPLAT and ClusuterXL, since my
poor little IP530s are becoming horrendously underpowered, but this
environment has grown organically in the past, and I've got interfaces
with multiple subnets on them.
