How do I chain CVP Servers?



Question



I would like to setup FireWall-1 ver. 4.0 SP-3 including the latest hotfix for SP-3 so that data received through a http or ftp connection are first scanned by Norton Antivirus and then by Finjan's Surfingate. I tried to create a rule like this:

Source Destination Service Action proxy any http->anti-vrius
http->finjan accept

and a similar rule for ftp, but the GUI told me it is not allowed to use two CVP servers for one connection. When I use two separate rules, the connection is caught by the first one and the second check is not carried out.

Anyone here has an idea how to do this correctly?

Answer



In the NG release, you can create "CVP Groups" that allow you to chain or load balance multiple CVP servers.

In FireWall-1 4.1, you can do this with the help of an application called CVP Manager. This application looks like a single CVP server to a firewall module, but it is basically a front end that calls a number of different CVP servers, either in sequence, or in a load balancing configuration. CVP Manager can be downloaded from Check Point's support site.
