Hi,

I need help with a FW re-configuration operation. I would thank any advice.

Problem:
We have a HA (two hosts) SunScreen EFS 3.0b FW which makes NAT and is the 
GW of our LAN. We want to put an HA Level 7 switches between FW and LAN to 
protect a internal servers zone, so we want to give GW IP to our (double) 
L7 switch, and force this one to route outbound traffic through our FW.

Ok, I think our procedure would be:
create interface alias with new IP at the inner IF of FW
duplicate FW policies for IF alias, don't enable
now network downtime...
disable all policies at FW
get down inner IF and alias
create virtual server for GW IP at L7 switch, pointing to FW new IP
get up inner IF with new IP
enable new policies
...end of network downtime

The question is: Do you think SunScreen would accept interface alias for 
this procedure? Admin Manual is laconic at add interface pages... There is 
a better approach to minimize network downtime?
