It would be more accurate to state that the Nokia appliance incorporates an HA solution for Check Point VPN-1. This is the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). VRRP does not provide a load balancing configuration, although you can use it in a creative configuration to setup a static load distribution scenario. VRRP brings into existence a virtual router. Check Point VPN-1 has a Gateway Cluster object which brings into existence a virtual firewall. You can assign this object the IP Address associated with the virtual router and setup HA for VPN. Your diagram is a little confusing to me. I am not sure of the number of firewalls between LAN1 and LAN2. It is appears that you wish to establish a VPN between two Check Point VPN-1 platforms and that this VPN has to pass through a single Nokia Appliance platform. Also, you ask if there could be problems at 250 Mega-BYTES per second. I think you meant Mega-BITS per second. (Is that correct?).

As far as I've gotten it, the nokia acts as sort of loadbalancer for the checkpoints. LAN1 |---Checkpoint---Nokia----Checkpoint-----|LAN2 |--------------------VPN-----------------| Are there any known drawbacks /pitfalls /whatever when operating these devices with network -loads > 250MBps ? BTW I want to thank lspitz () enteract com who pointed out the checkpoints' behaviour in a detailed way. Comments / hints/ whitepapers / exprience are highly welcome TNX, jf _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () nfr com http://www.nfr.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () nfr com http://www.nfr.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
