Hi Guys, I am testing FW1 in a load-sharing / high availability configuration using ClusterXL and also Floodgate for our company. Let me tell you, at the moment ClusterXL is very cool, very very robust ;) Anyways, here is my question: My technical director has asked for an explanation describing how FW1's load-sharing determine's which gateway will handle a connection? Is it a simple round-robin, does it factor in the CPU load, network load of each cluster member etc. Thanks Guys!
