Hi, We are in the process of hooking up 2 SSL front ends for our VM TN3270 traffic. One box wil be primary, the other backup. For full redundancy, I plan to use 2 OSA ports (separate cards), and 2 TCP/IP stacks in VM. The SSL boxes will be configured identically and cabled directly to the OSAs to eliminate unencrypted data passing through a router. One box, along with it's associated OSA and TCP/IP stack, will be sitting idle 99.999% of the time. Each box is sized to carry the full workload. Are there any additional/better/simpler ways to enhance availability or reliability? BTW, SSLSERV is not an option for us, since we need to support 1200 concurrent user sessions.
