NimbostratusQuick rollback
NimbostratusThank you guys. The solution with HA looks interesting but think that when I disable synchronization then info about new connections will not go to the standby box right? If so then when i failover then i will lose those clients that established connection in that short period of time.

Zaq,
There is a difference between configuration sync and connection sync (called mirroring).
Configuration sync is configured in so called Device Groups and is only applicable for configuration changes. You can configure auto-sync. A change on the Active member is synced right away to the Stanby member. When you disable auto-sync, you manually have to sync the configuration to the Standby member.
Connection sync (mirroring) is configured on the virtual server by selecting the Advanced pull down menu in the virtual server configuration page. Keep in mind not all connections can be synced (using client en server SSL profiles for example) and it may have impact on the performance.

I think you're confusing synchronisation (the sync-ing of system configuration) with Mirroring (the duplication of connection state information with the peer device)
You can configure mirroring on a per virtual server basis. You only need to mirror services such as FTP which will break if there the session is broken. Services such as HTTP will continue to work during a failover as the clients will re-connect without the users knowing.
