Which is exactly the same as a switch failure, and if you can't handle 
that, then your product/design is crap. 

Unless you are intelligent and home the firewalls to different switches
(as we have done).  If both switches fail then you have bigger problems
than firewall failover.

This is FUD.

How, exactly?
