Stonebeat is a software solution (as is Checkpoint-haven't worked with Checkpoint HA yet so I can't talk about it) It works well, an in the full-cluster implementation can fail-over VPN and is a slick implementation. However with software implementations, one would have to reconfigure the cluster to add/remove a firewall from it. If the budget allows it, implement a hardware load-balancing solution. These are really intelligent implementations (F5-fireguard or the Radware Firproof) they do a full health check up to application layer (if need be) and will doa nice full load-balance. Additionally to add another firewall, one must simply configure the firewall, and add it seamlessly into the cluster created by these solutions. Very nice.
