Interesting - How does it work though - I mean if the firewall plays up at Site A, it thinks everything in Site B is down - so Nagios GUI marks everything as down - what happens then if say a server in Site B does actually go down - we will not get alerted to that?
I made a slight error in my original description - when the firewall "goes down" it cant contact anything at both locations, not just Site A, due to the fact that the protected interface stays up but just denies all traffic.

That way, when it "goes down", you only get the alert for the firewall crapping out, and not all of the hosts that depend on it. -- "The problem with quotes on the internet is that it's very hard to verify their authenticity." -- Abraham Lincoln ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
