Greetings all, Just wondering what the opinion and ideas that you all have concerning traffic loads on firewalls. Given any firewall, it can only handle so much traffic. I have come across ideas on load balancing firewalls, but how successful are these, considering then the state tables et al must then be shared between all the firewalls, either in a central deposit or between themselves in the form of packet updates (similar to how BGP works??). What is the best way to secure a huge farm of web servers, having numerous firewalls? Put the firewall behind the web server and a screening router in front, and ideas? Cheers r.
