I am running PIX in failover, and want to have redundant routes on the outside. Assuming that I have two routers, both connected to a common Internet connection, is it possible to run an OSPF area between the PIX outside interface(s) and the two router interfaces, to provide redundant gateways? If this were one PIX, I would say yes, but don't know if PIX in failover present issues.

PIX in failover with OSPF on the outside

Thanks for your input. My topology is a bit odd, in that I have a 3660 as my Internet router, with two ethernet interfaces. As the PIX and the two interfaces need to be in the same subnet, I have placed a small router in between the 3660 eth1 and the failover PIX, so that I can give 3660 eth0 192.168.1.10 and 'new router' inside interface 192.168.1.11. This new router is not a candidate to put in parallel with the 3660 (to do HSRP), so I did this to allow the setup of the OSPF area as an alternative. I'll check in and let you know how it goes...
