Re: [FW1] Failover between two geographically separated firewalls

[Scott Schindler <scott@FW1-NOSPAMenstar.com>]

Check Point's solution for MEP or Multiple Entry Points and geographically
separated locations is for SecuRemote support only.  So the simple answer is
no CP doesn't support it.  But your total answer is deeper than that.  Your
brief explanation of your goals requires an number of questions which need
to be answered.  Too many in fact to discuss in one email.  If you want a
full solution and are not familiar with HA and load balanacing
implementations and design.  I recommend you speak with Rainfinity,
Stonebeat, Foundry, Alteon, etc. and work out a complete solution.

Many of us have experience with one or more of those solutions for
particular environments, but every environment should have a tailored
solution when it comes to a big decision such as this.

Good luck.
