Counter-opinion: The load balancing features of FW-1 are weak. If you need to maintain session sate (i.e. a users whole browsing session stays on one box) get soemething like BigIP. The time wasted in trying to make a solution do something it was not designed to do (or sucks at) is also an expense. =) Carric Dooley Senior Consultant COM2:Interactive Media "But this one goes to eleven." -- Nigel Tufnel On Tue, 5 Dec 2000, Mark Decker wrote: > > Yet another option if you go the web cluster route instead of caching: > you can have your FW-1 server double as a webserver load balancer > (eliminating the need for a separate layer of devices) by adding RainSLB > software.
