Default Check Point VPN design

Hi All,

I'm going DR crazy and looking at ways to implement DR across our two main data offices in London :-)

Site A and B in London both have an internet pipe of equal size. We have a Check Point VPN cluster in site A and I’m considering purchasing a Check Point VPN cluster for site B. The cluster is serving as an IPSEC endpoint for remote users and sites. Both site A and B have a 2 GIG internal between them. Currently when site A's Internet link fails our dynamic routing advertises our site A addresses from site B's internet router and we just route site A addresses through B to get to A. This model works fine.

However, i'm trying to convince myself we need a VPN terminating device at site B too but i like the model we currently use as it works well :-)

I'm curious as to how others have implemented VPN resiliency across their sites?

Any views, suggestions on this?

I personally do not see the benefit unless you would want to split load across the two sites or did not have an internal link between two of your sites.

Cheers
