Hi,
If your customer wants to have high availability, then he needs two switches
or hub between router and the two firewalls (each firewall is on a different
switch/Hub). Switches are connected with two links (crossover cables for
example).
At the end, the last "point of failure" could be the router or the external
link connected to the router.

Customer Request. The Customer does not want to setup a high availability
firewall on one hand, and then add another single point of failure on the
other hand.
