Is there a way to handle the state table in ipfw/ipf? I could write scripts to do 'failover', but I'm wandering if there's a way to 'share' the state table between active and standby units or to pass the state table from one firewall to another over a crossover. I've briefly searched Google for 'BSD Firewall Failover', but didn't find a whole lot. I'm looking for pointers to existing solutions, as well as generalized ideas (about good ways to do this, if it hasn't been done yet). Of course I ideally want pointers to opensource solutions... If none exist, this could be a fun project. However, I find it hard to believe this wheel hasn't already been carved out of stone.
