RE: FW-1 Failover

[John McDonald <Johnm () Networkguys com>]

I suggest Rainwall from Rainfinity. www.rainfinity.com
<http://www.rainfinity.com>   EXCELLENT product and we've have had
multiple successful installs with large DMZ's and multiple interfaces.
Very reliable and it's the only firewall fail-over software in the world
that allows for TRUE load balancing!

                Hi all,

                I am thinking of using FW-1 for a internal Firewall
which will segregate
                four networks of different security levels. The
configuration is to be on
                NT, with four Ethernet cards. The choice of platform is
customer driven, my
                original plans where to use Cisco's PIX. The main
problem I have is
                providing failover for the FW-1. With PIX this is not a
problem. I know FW-1
                supports failover/load sharing, but will this work with
four interfaces?

                Has anyone any experience with creating resilience for
multiple DMZ FW-1
                configurations?

                Regards

                Kel.
