Hi,
i'have the following architecture:

        Catalyst6000     Catalyst6000
                |      \        /       |
                |         \  /  |
                |          \/           |
                |          /\           | Gigabit
                |         /  \  |
                |        /      \       |
                |       /        \      |
        Catalyst6000    Catalyst6000
                        +++++++
                        ServerFarm
                        +++++++

I'm going to protect the ServerFarm, and i want to guarantee High
Availability, Throughput

The first solution that i thought was



        Catalyst6000  Catalyst6000
                |       \ /      |
                |     / \        |
                |    /   \   | Gigabit
                |   /       \    |
                |  /         \ |
         FIREWALL--RRP-- FIREWALL (Redundancy protocol in Gigabit!!)
                | \        /|
                |  \        /   |
                |   \    /  | Gigabit
                |    \  /   |
                |     \     |
                |    / \        |
                |   /   \   |
        Catalyst6000  Catalyst6000
                   +++++++
                   ServerFarm
                   +++++++

In the above architecture all link ar active, one Firewall is active. I need
a firewall with 5 Gigabit Ports, i have to manage the balancing (i need a
firewall thath support ISL or other protocol??.)

Or the simple way is

        Catalyst6000  Catalyst6000
                |                |
                |        |
                |                | Gigabit
                |                |
                |                |
         FIREWALL--RRP-- FIREWALL (Redundancy protocol in Gigabit!!)
                |               |
                |               |
                |               | Gigabit
                |               |
                |               |
                |               |
                |               |
        Catalyst6000  Catalyst6000
                   +++++++
                   ServerFarm
                   +++++++

I'm now think about architecture and tecnology (Firewall-1 and Netsceeen)
any suggestion??
Best Regards
Carmelo
