Are you looking for a firewall failover solution or a redundant router
solution?
The PIX provides a nice fail-over solution.
If you're looking to failover between two circuits (to combat a circuit
outage), then I'd simply suggest a route with two circuits. If you're
looking to add hardware redundancy, you could put a router with redundant
power supplies (to two different power sources). Or you could use two
different routers running a standby protocol (Cisco's HSRP comes to mind).
You could even increase that redundancy by using Cisco's HSRP with BGP to
two different providers.
Hope that helps,
Roy

Hi List,
I'm looking for a product that can sit in front of a Firewall (between FW
and Internet) and allow for 2 internet connections, one to sit idle as a
hot/warm/cold standby to the main connection?
We are looking for a tool that is geared towards the SME market.
Has anyone got any experience with any products that can do this?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
