Title: Rainwall

We have used rainwall (we have not done any testing with SecuRemote) for about 7 months.  We run on the Sparc platform, Solaris 7.  It works well with Checkpoint.  It does not work thru the policy editor, but instead has it's own management tools.  I would highly recommend it, especially if you are planning on doing server load balancing as we are, because we are able to load balance our servers to as many  DMZs as needed without buying additional hardware.  We are in the testing phase with their server load balancing feature, but I think it'll work out well.

Hi all,
So now I am curious.  Have any of you set up your firewalls redundantly using Rainwall?  Did you use VPN and SecuRemote?  If so I would like to ask you some questions (I sound like a Jenny Jones commercial about security).

1. If you have used this product, what do you think about how well it handles VPN load ballancing?
2. What about load ballancing of the rest of the traffic?
3. What platform do you use (ie NT, AIX)?
4. How well, and how does it work with Checkpoint?  Does it work through the policy editor some how?

I would be very interested in any experiences any of you can share about Rainwall.
