All,
    We have some "enterprise" class firewalls (Nokia 650s w/Checkpoint 4.1 SP5) configured in a failover arrangement.  It seems like we have some misconfigured items on the firewalls because we watch the connections slowly creep up and when they release, it only releases a few sessions from the state table - seems to leave the firewalls in a less than perfect state.  The only way to "fully" recover is to reboot the boxes and then we're starting off fresh again.  So my question is... is there document out there that walks Firewall Admins through configuring the firewalls for an environment with 40,000 users to maximize the efficiency of the firewalls?  We're nat-ing out several connections.  I've been on Phoneboy but have only found some sporadic articles.  Any books?  Whitepapers?  You name it...
 
Thanks in advance...
Brian
