Re: [FW1] Local Director for load sharing FW-1?

[Bill Husler <BHusler@PacBell.net>]

By way of follow-up. Since nobody that responded to my message had even tried using
the load director for load balancing firewalls, we met with our local Cisco team.
They agreed that Local Director will not work for this implementation - I will not
address the continuity of state that is a problem with load sharing across
firewalls.
Most people that responded (thanks) appear to be having good success with Alteon.
