    Hi,

    I'd like some pointers on building up a cluster of firewalls (2 for =
    starters) with four interfaces (all should be VRRP/HSRP alike) and a =
    seperate management box on Nokia's.

    The idea is to have (per box); 1 int Bad Guys 1 int DMZ 1 int
    LAN 1 int Management

    The management should contain all synch traffic between the boxes
    (pref. = in load balancing mode) and the other interfaces should have
    as little = synch traffic as possible.

    Now, setting up the Nokia cluster isn't that hard, the Checkpoint =
    cluster itself isn't that hard, but where can I find info on the
    traffic = generated by the clustering itself ? Can we force just to
    use the = Management interface for all synch traffic and does a
    failover (or down = situation) will occur when any of the interaces
    will go down ?

    T.i.a.
