Re: [FW-1] logical server how to



The ConnectControl module is a for-fee license & is not included with a
typical firewall/management license.  So, if you want this functionality,
you'll have to pony up some $$$ for it.  And, for what it's worth, I would
use multiple MX records to balance incoming SMTP servers.  If you want to
balance outbound SMTP, I would try round robin DNS.  You'll probably get
just as even a distribution & you won't have to pay for it.  The health
checking of the Connect Control module isn't as great as you would expect it
to be.  As long as the machine can be pinged, it will be considered up (of
course this all depends on the algorithm & the type of balancing you're
doing.  Just my 2 cents.
