Correct. I've been running syncronized firewalls since version 3.0b, in a design similar to the one at http://www.hanetworks.com/networks/ospf/, without using any HA package (using OSPF routing to handle failover instead.) Hope this helps. Jason At 07:07 AM 3/28/01 -0500, Dunn, Daniel, CTR, OSD-ATL wrote: > >This is not enitrely correct. You CAN state synchronize without running the >HA module.
