Yes, certain models have a serial fail over link. (515?), look at
cisco web page for more details. If you buy another NIC, you can even have
stateful failover. (retains all tcp connection information to the other
firewall). Although, I wonder if you "really" need it since I did get it
work
AFAIK PIX Failover only provides redundancy, no traffic load balance.
If you need Firewall load-balance, go to the Nokia IP series
firewall, or Checkpoint+Stonebeat combo (www.stonebeat.com)

Or you could stick a CSS or two infront of the pixes.

AFAIK PIX Failover
Check out Alteon load balancer, they have a white paper how to do firewall
load balancing. And they are very complicated & expensive. And why not just
buy a high end model with gigabit throughput then no need for load
balancing?

Can't load balance, one pix is active, the other standby.

You need to get yourself some real load-balancers (i.e. CSS, F5 BigIP,
Foundry ServerIron, Alteon Acedirector, etc.) and make yourself a "firewall
sandwich". Mmmm, tasty.

Pix does the state information transmission but does not do load balancing.
As someone else said above, get Stonebeat if you want a firewall that can do
it all.
