Subject: [FW1] Load Balance or Fail Over question...

Hello All...
 
We currently have a Nokia IP440, and we are purchasing a second one.
 
I am not sure what I need for the second, and what I need to change/configure in order to make these work for us.
 
I would like to balance the load across these, and our routers on each side support firewall load balancing, but I was also told that I might need to do some other things.
 
Do I need to setup the management console on another server?[Tim Cullen] Yes   I have a few NT servers I could put it onto...  would that work?[Tim Cullen] Yes 
 
Also, how do I handle IP addressing with the load balanced firewalls?[Tim Cullen] Ip addressing is a little tricky.  It will not matter if you use VRRP or a third party solution, you will need a shared IP for the Cluster address for all interfaces being load balanced.
For example:
 
                           FW1                                  FW2
                        10.1.1.1                             10.1.1.3
                         Real IP                               Real IP
                                 \                                /    
                                   \                             / 
                                     \                          /                                           
                                           FW Cluster 
                                        (virtual address)
                                             10.1.1.2
 
If anyone has any info that could help me out, I would really appreciate it!
 
Visio drawing would be really nice as well!
 
Thanks in advance!
