Unfortunately I only have a /30 subnet for the external IP's, which
makes for one for the router and one for a gb800.
Can this be worked around, or am I going to have to have to get the
ISP
to assign us a bigger subnet?
As a second question, I'm assuming I'm going to need to stick a
switch/hub between the two GB's external interface and the router.
This
would seem to add an additional single point of failure which was not
there before. Is there a simple workaround for this?
TIA

Hi Richard,
Have a look at the chapter titled "H2A on Two Subnets" in the manual
(http://www.gta.com/downloads/external/50/General/H2A_Guide_5.0.pdf).
This covers the situation you're in. You can configure the H2A setup,
but since you only have a single public IP you won't be able to
manage the standby firewall from the internet.
Regarding your second question: depending on your ISP, you might be
able to get two uplink cables, connecting to different switches on
your ISP's side, thus increasing your redundancy.
