If the
Firewall (NT Server) is performing routing couldn’t you just add the IP address
with a higher Metric and let the Firewall perform the failover?

Subject: [FW-1] Multiple Internet
Connections
I am currently running a
NT FW-1 4.1 SP3 firewall.
We are in the process of obtaining a secondary
internet pop for redundancy from a separate vendor @ one of my remote
locations.
Is there a way that I
could pre-setup the firewall for this second internet pop, so when our primary
goes down, a quick change on the firewall and we would be back up.
The license of the
firewall is tied to the internal ip address not the external.
So all I am thinking is another object that
represents the firewall with all interfaces with the exception of the primary
interface configured, and well as redundant objects for any nat related systems
that represent the new ip scheme?
Is this possible? IF so
are there any other things that I may need to do other than the ones stated
above?
TIA
