AFAIK the second Pix will only become active if the first Pix fails, but a
switch failure will not cause this as the failure is detected by the cable that
connects the Pix boxes together, not by the network cable. I know that 5.3
(?) uses a NIC on each box for stateful failover but I believe that the actual
failover handling is still done based on the dedicated failover cable
connection.
