Default Re: Maximum no. of firewall in a cluster
I was one of those who really likes ClusterXL Active/Active and
IPSO Clustering until I have to deploy it in a production environment.

Let say you cluster 5 firewalls together in Cluster Active/../../../Active
mode. If there is a problem and you have to troubleshoot an issue,
you have to run 5 tcpdump. Ouch...

Active/Active.../Active sound good in theory but in actual implementation,
people need to understand the aspect of mantenance and support.
