David,
Try taking a look at the PIX Firewall. The product has a
failover/hot-standby option which allows the secondary firewall to provide
hot-standby security in case the primary unit fails, minimizing network
downtime. This has been very useful in mission critical environements.
Please contact any Cisco sales representative for more information.
