I'm not sure what you mean by having a cold standby firewall that you would use for remote access. My cold standby server is an exact replica of my active one including ip addresses, static routes, etc. It's always online but it is not connected to the network. It takes about 10 seconds to switch to the backup and be up and running. This is because of the time it takes to switch the wires and the time for the backup to announce its presence on the network. Hope this helps.... -- Joe At 04:54 PM 2/13/03, Hal Dorsman wrote: How does everyone manage a second cold standby firewall? One that you would want to keep on your internal network for remote access. With the licenses now being tied to the internal IP, you get conflicts if you try to put it on the same net.
