What problem are you trying to solve here?  If you are trying to create a highly 
available Internet connection, this might serve you better:

           Internal
              |
          Ethernet
            /   \
         Nokia   Nokia
           |       |
        Switch--Switch
           |       |
         Router  Router
           \       /
           Internet
       
This would provide a backup for not only a switch failure, but also a router,or Nokia 
failure.

Subject: [FW1] Single Nokia IP to two outbound switches





How bout this:


       Internal
         |
       Nokia
     /      \
Switch   Switch
     \      /
      Router
        |
     The world

Suppose inbetween my firewall and internet router, there were two switches configured 
in failover.

So if anything went wrong with one switch, it would failover to the other.

Logically, this would require two external interfaces on my Nokia, one connected to 
one switch, the other to the other.

Having said that I can't think how to implement this, on the Nokia, or in fw-1.

Has anyone any comments?  Ignore the router end of this for the moment.


Cheers,

Paul.
