We're running Stonebeat here.  I have 2 Sun Ultra Enterprise 250 servers each
running FireWall-1 console and Stonebeat console, and another Sun Ultra Enterprise
250 running FireWall Management Station and Stonebeat Management station.

We run them in HA mode as opposed to load balance, though eventually we may go to
load balance.

I have had several instances where a failure on our primary firewall would
immediately force the secondary to take over.  In 99.9 percent of this happening,
there is absolutely no disruption to our users with the exception of those who may
have been performing an FTP session.  They would then have to re-connect, but it is
inobtrusive to our users.
