I know some Cisco stuff although I'm no expert, but as far as I know a Cisco
router would not allow you to do such thing, it expects each interface to
belong to a different network and is expected for you to have a switch or
hub behind it to make the network distribution to other hosts.
A while ago I read something about a feature called something like "ether
channel", that allowed for a two ports on a router to be used as a single
one to increase throughtput, but since I don't know details about that, I
rather suggest for you to get a switch.

BTW... why is it that you don't want to put a sw o hub between the cluster
and the router?

Hi,

I need to connect two clustered Checkpoint Firewalls (HA, hot standby)
to a cisco router, but _not_ with a switch between. The firewalls are
to be directly connected to two seperate ports at the Cisco router.

Does anybody happen to know how to configure the Cisco in order to
search for the virtual ip address on two separate ports? (i.e. route
the traffic to the virtual address to both router interfaces)
