Depending on your firewall, performance does not have to be slow. Firewalls must be sized for the load, just like servers. We run a CISCO ArrowPoint Load Balancing CSS in front of Apache 1.3.19 Mod_SSL(StrongHold 3 build 3014) We run a CISCO PIX 520 between Apache and WebLogic 5.1. We run a CISCO PIX 535 between Weblogic and Oracle 8i without performance issues. The Oracle datafiles are on a Net Appliance Filer, with a 1GB ethernet from Oracle to the Filer.
