Hi all,

Recently, I learned from my colleague that his firewall cluster in his company (that he's currently manage) does not use Check Point's state synchronization mode (configured via CPCONFIG), instead rely solely on RainWall's H.A and load balance mode. AFAIK and from what I learned from RainWall's manual, it is recommended (although no necessary) to enable the state synchronization. How does the RainWall able to perform load balance and H.A. without the presence of Check Point's state synchronization? So, if it not necessary to use state synchronization mode, am I still able to set up RainWall on my standalone firewall and achieves H.A/load balance once secondary machine joins as a firewall cluster? Thanks for those who enlighten me about this.

Regards,

Al
