Looking for input about Netscreens and redundancy

[paulhung]

Hi everyone,

I have been thinking about putting together a redundant Netscreen solution and was wondering if the forum could provide some input about if it's possible since I'm rather new to it... Here's the situation:

Two Netscreen 25 Advanced with DPI subscriptions.
Set up with basic HA.
Two T1 lines so I would like to use the dual Untrust ports

So... if the first T1 on Untrust1 fails, then the second T1 on Untrust2 should pick up automatically after the "heartbeat" fails, right? Then, if the first Netscreen fails, I can just switch over to the second Netscreen?

Another question I was wondering about is how would mail route once the first T1 goes down...?

Thanks!

Paul
