Got a few questions:

Our Internet infrastructure looks like:

            Internal Network


Anyhow, my issue is that I have these Firewalls Load Balanced, with some
traffic possibly coming in one firewall and out the other, so I need to
ensure all of the traffic outside the firewalls gets assessed by one
RealSecure Network Sensor.  (The rest of the above diagram is more
complicated then I've indicated, so please do not get into NON issues)

My network guys state that I cannot SPAN a port on each Switch into a
HUB because of cross communication and such.  Also, if I plugged each
SPAN port into another Switch, and SPAN the VLAN, I get only a
'Sampling' as it skips from port to port shoveling the traffic to the
SPAN'd port.

I don't want to necessarily use TAPS on each connection, because then I
lose the ability to do RESETs...as I would be using the STEALTH
interface on the mirrored connection.

Any suggestions, comments?

Thanks.
