Of course, by so doing you would loose what little state sharing the PIX
has. Existing connections would no longer survive a PIX failure. Most folks
are OK with this, but you should be aware of the limitation.
Now if Cisco would finally ship real state sharing. And 100baseT support
for the state channel (yes, 115kbps is better than 9.6kbps, but it's still
slow async serial...). I know, I know - I want everything :)
Waiting for 6.x...
