Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm currently doing some research into firewalls, and which one(s) would be right for my network. I'm considering everything from Checkpoint-1, to Cisco Pix, to ipchains, to ipfw on FreeBSD. My question is this. Does anyone out there know of any utilities/code/addons I could use to implement a failover pair of firewalls using ipfw and fbsd? Ideally I'd like to do stateful failover, but having two machines always on and a heartbeat solution might wirk as well. If anyone can offer some pointers, it would be much appreciated.
