Hi,
I have just taken over the manangement of this. From what i understand failover has never been tested but the config looks right. I was hoping someone could take a look and confirm my thought.

Yes, looks fine to me and failover must have worked at least once as the active firewall is now the standby.
One point though, when posting configs, outputs from devices if they contain public IPs can you blank them out eg. xx.xx.xx.xx
