I'm also looking at doing this. We have 3 firewall setups that I want to merge together on the same Mgmt station. I've got a good 500+ objects on each.

We have been running two firewall pairs for a while. Our intention is to get rid of the old pair completely by migrating all the rules to the new pair. The new pair already has a huge number of rules, objects, services configured. So the problem is that we need to somehow get all of the existing rules, objects, services from the old firewalls into the new firewalls while keeping the new firewalls objects, rules and services intact. So when I said "merge", I really meant merge in the true sense of taking two data sets and merging them into one so that a have a set that inclues both subsets. Any help would be much appreciated.
