Well, I suspect you will get a veritable flood of replies on this one :-)

The two HA solutions with FW-1 that I have experience with are Stonebeat Full cluster 
and the Nokia solution.

The stonebeat setup I worked with used sun E250 enforcement servers with gig E 
interfaces and a ultra 10 for a management server

I've done numerous setups with nokia boxes using IP 330's and 440's with a variety of 
interfaces.

The stonbeat was a pain in the a$$, and product support seemed more interested in 
deflecting blame and making excuses than working the problems.  I walked away with a 
bad taste in my mouth.

The Nokia solution works beautifully.  very easy to configure, maintain, and 
administer.  Only drawback is failover can take a couple of seconds.  If you require 
subsecond failover, it's not a good choice.

I cannot comment on rainwall or other solutions, as I have not implemnented and/or 
supported them.

Have a good one.

Subject: [FW-1] High Availability


I am looking at a clustering or load balancing solution for my environment.  Does 
anybody have any suggestions on what I should look at?  I am presently looking at 
RainWall and Checkpoints High Availability module.

Thanks
Steve
