Frank, If I get you correctly, you want to configure two web server that do load balancing between them ? If that is the case I think you need to take a look at the Load Balancing contained within the ConnectControl Module. At least that is what I understand from the Load Balancing chapter of the CCSE manual. This is also explained in the Administrator's Guide of 4.1, starting at page 581. Hope this helps.

I'm running FW-1 4.1 SP 3. I'm looking at alternatives to doing this and for now would like to avoid the hardware load balancing route (this is a preliminary deployment until we bring our data center up where we'll use Alteon). One choice is to use Windows Load Balancing which would be fine except that I have to buy Advanced Server licenses to do that. This is not out of the question but is not desirable either. I want to explore using the load balancing object in FW-1 instead. My current network looks like this: (In the following description, internal mask is 255.255.255.0.) Firewall has 2 NICs (obviously): External NIC has a public address assigned by ISP. Internal NIC uses private address (172.16.10.n) Web Server(s) have 2NICs (routing is disabled): NIC1 is on 172.16.10.n NIC2 is on 172.16.20.n DB Server has 2 NICs (routing is disabled): NIC1 is on 172.16.20.n NIC2 is on our internal corporate network. I am not a FW-1 expert so I'm looking for some guidance on how to setup the Load Balancing object to work in conjunction with the address translation in this configuration. Appreciate as much detail or pointers to white papers or online docs that would help. thanks in advance for any assistance.
