RE: [FW1] Failover between two geographically separated firewalls



I agree with Scott.  A complete solution will probably involve a combination
of techniques.  BGP or firewall HA by itself is not enough to deal with all
the issues raised in providing fault tolerance in a multi-site, multi-homed
network.  You'll want to consider at how this affects your DNS and default
gateway assignments as well.

Here is a link you might find useful:
http://www.telekomnet.com/writer_peter/BeginningBGP.asp
It makes mention of a multi-site BGP scenario (diagram 5).

Hope this helps,
