Checkpoint VPN

Archived from groups: comp.security.firewalls (More info?)

Checkpoint's "recommendation" is no more than 150...active...users per
server. If 200 - 300 are expected to be online most of the time, then, for
reasonable performance...it would be in your best interest to run an
additional server. Recommended, does not mean it can not be done, as for the
reason for the limitation, I have no documentation.

If the issue is "hard wired" it may be limited by tables, logic, if it is
hardware...then you might be able to increase memory, use dual processors
(no, do not know if the process is multithreaded)..Try it and see. The worse
that could happen is you buy an additional server and licenses. The
best...it works and you save a few dollars.
