RE: [FW1] load balancing?

[Jason Ha <jason.ha@FW1-NOSPAMkeytrust.com.au>]

Paul,

According to local Check Point people on my
side of the globe, the new beta version of
the High Availability module is being tested.
The new version includes load balancing capabilities
for all Check Point modules (including load balancing
of FloodGated traffic).

Apparently, this new version is forcasted to be
due out sometime in June. Hence, the best thing
to do (the same recommendation I've made to
a customer recently) is to purchase the HA module
now with software subscription, then when the
new version comes out you'll get a free upgrade
to it.

Rgds,

Hi,

I apologize if this has come up before.

I just joined this list because we're looking at two Nokia IPA 650
Firewall-1
systems.

Besides failover, I'd like to load balance between the two.  

One option is to look at switches which do the work.  

Another option would be if Firewall-1 had load balancing capabilities.

Without treading into NDA land, what are the current forecasts for load
balancing within Firewall-1?

Thanks!
