Counter-opinion: The load balancing features of FW-1 are weak. If you
need to maintain session sate (i.e. a users whole browsing session stays
on one box) get soemething like BigIP. The time wasted in trying to make
a solution do something it was not designed to do (or sucks at) is also an
expense. =)
