Firewalls in general or on Check Point FW-1?

The Check Point FW-1 answer is pretty easy. FW-1 is not designed to be
able to do this. The "Topology" tab and anti-spoofing, which are extremely
important features in FW-1, will be completely broken by dynamic routing.
You can turn off anti-spoofing, but with the fact that the FW-1 GUI does
not let you assign rules by interface, deactivating anti-spoofing may be
very dangerous.
