What i meant is, grab one of these, http://downloads.smoothwall.org/source/2.0/smoothwall-2.0.src.tar.gz for example, it will build a smoothwall for you entirely from source. Now what you really want is download an extra module compile it and (plant) it among the modules for your smoothwall kernel. Now you have a failover capability, configure it according to the instructions on your newly built firewall, and make sure you have plenty of connections and nicks to fail-over-to. Very similar scenario goes for ipCop. So you actually create a new install image and use that for your customers. Cheers Szemir
