RE: OT: Pix active/active failover

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. License is ok, already have it
for active/active. My main concern is how to
connect/configure the scenario with just three
interfaces for active/active.

Instead of having the inside(back end)-outside(front
end)-failover interfaces, could I connect the failover
ethernets to the switches in the front end? This way I
could pass traffic through the old fail-over
interfaces too, having two interfaces per pix to the
front end and just one to the back end, using one of
the front end interfaces for fail over as well. Is
this fixable?

Regards
