When possible, your firewall should have one default route and the routers should handle the rest. There are a thousand different ways to achieve added redundancy on your Internet connection. You should probably speak to a networking engineer, or at the very least your ISP. Explain to them what you want to do, what tradeoffs you are willing to make in terms of cost, complexity and reliability, and go from there. -Don ================================================= To set vacation, Out Of Office, or away messages, send an email to [email protected] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [email protected] =================================================
