Hi,
we use the HA clustering for a long time with no problems and the benefits. Now 
we have the blades(R71) with Antivirus and URL Filtering... no update of the 
second cluster member is possible. I get no answer for this task; maybe a 
checkpoint license strategy ??

benefit:
  - no problem if one node fails (transparent failover)
  - updates / maintainance without outages
  - updates / maintainance during working hours (because there is no outage)

problems:
  - with active-active clustering you have to care about the traffic
that should go through both firewalls - so maybe you have to play
with your switch-config
  - I prefer HA clusering (one node active, one standby)
