I'd like to suggest a feature addition. This is something I'm sure GTA
could charge a premium for and possible catapult the product to a new
market level. Basically, I'd like to see the ability for 2 or more
GNAT-Boxes to work in a "High Availability Cluster". The machines could be
linked by a serial port, special network interface port, or simply the
regular network interface ports. Each machine would have a connect to the
same networks as the other. Then, if one machine went down or congested,
the other could take over.
I realize the GNAT-Box is very fast and stable. But many companies have a
need to ensure "no single points of failure"... and this kind of addition
to the product would allow for full failover requirements. It is my
understanding that GTA had some experience with this kind of clustering
from their original "GTA" branded firewall.
Thank you,
