We are currently running the 515 in HA mode. I love it! I can run in turn
of the active PIX and the users don't even know about it. Currently I have
about a thousand users going through this setup. The one thing I would
recommend that we did not do up front as we were trying to "save a buck or
two" is using something like a 2912 on the outside and inside instead of
hubs, we have recently upgraded the units and did see a performance
increase.
A side note, we are having one problem with this setup and Cisco is working
with us on it, every once in a while a user will get locked up inside the
pix and we will have to do a "cl xlate local" command on the internal ip.
Just something to keep in the back of your mind in case it pops up.
Have fun

Subject: What Pix firewall model would you use based on your experience?
Hi Everyone,
This is Out of Topic. We have less than 300 users in the company. I was
wondering what model of Pix firewall I should choose.
I have Pix 515 and 525 in mind. Does anyone have any experience on this?
I am $3000 short if I go with Pix 525. I would have $3000 left if I go
with Pix 515.
I would need a NIC card for DMZ. Pix has Strict and UN. What would you do
if you were me.
Thanks
JOhn Shi
