You can do the same thing with Rainfinity if you're using the correct product. It sounds like you're only using the Rainwall for FW-1, not their content product. The short answer is, if you already own Rainwall for fw-1 and the Cisco content switches, use rainwall for your firewalls and the content switch for the web, ftp, etc.

Hi,

Well... we going to use Content Switch to load balance the web, ftp & email servers. Can Rainwall do the same thing without do it using Content Switch?

Are you using the Content Switch to load balance web servers or are you replacing Rainwall with the Content switch? The latter is a bad idea, the former should work fine. I think a few more details about what you're trying to accomplish with these two solutions would help in answering your questions.

Dear Honorable Experts,

I have a question about Cisco Content Switching and firewall cluster (Check Point + RainWall) which made me wonders if these can work each others. We currently in progress to set up Content Switching between two location (which shares same private and public VLANs). At the same time, we running a firewall cluster which covers three enforcement servers (two at location A and one at location B). For load-balancing/H.A solution we used RainWall in the firewall cluster. FYI, there are one public VLAN, two private VLANs (behind the firewalls) and one synchronization network for three enforcements to synchronize each others.

So, my questions are

a) Do Cisco Content Switch works with firewall cluster (Check Point + RainWall) ? As I understand Content Switch and RainWall is a similar load-balance/H.A. solutions except both running on different platform (hardware and software based).

b) If it works, any documents or resources out there which helps us to set up this?

c) If it doesn't works due to similar natures of these products (Content Switching & RainWall), which is the best way to solve this?

Thanks for your reply and enlightenment about this matter.

Regards,

Al
