[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: [FW-1] High Availability
Nothing against the other solutions, just wanted to pipe in and say we've had a great time with Rainwall. *Very* simple to set up, works great and does HA & LB out of the box. You can tweak it pretty easily for asym traffic too if your FW boxes have different abilities, or do one inbound, one outbound.. that sort of thing. Worth looking at if you're examining going to a HA setup. - JP >>> James Schnack <[email protected]> 04/12/02 10:04AM >>> I agree with Steve on this one. I have a bit of experience with Nokia's VRRP solution, and it works "as advertised"... ;) I definately recommend it, although you should keep in mind that it is NOT a load balancing solution, just HA. (There's a way to do a bit of load-balancing by configuring multiple virtual routers, but it's more like a workaround...) As for SB (it provides both HA and LB), my experience is more limited, but the little I have interacted with SB support, I got the same feeling Steve did. Coincidence ? Maybe... Just my thoughts.
