Re: Content Switches [7:44742]
If your not using the CSS to load balance between firewalls I see now reason to put it outside. The CSS constantly sends keepalives to the servers it load balances for. I don't see any reason the packets should be inspected by the firewall. If the firewall gets overloaded and drops packets the CSS will mark some services as down or dying and will not send requests to that server even though it could handle the requests.

Re: Content Switches [7:44742]
My understanding is that for firewall loadbalancing they are installed on the inside and outside otherwise they are most often installed on the DMZ.
