PIX 501 routing

[ipotts]

Hello,

I have a customer who wants to use two 501s in the following topology shown below. I haven't used the 501 before, and am concerned about whether the 501 can route packets in/out of its switched interfaces. (i.e. packet from Intranet to lower 501 to upper 501 to internet and back).

Can anyone please confirm whether the 501 can support this routing in/out of its switched interfaces.

outside Fast Eth

PIX 501

1x switched Eth - this connects to inside int

Switch (DMZ)-Servers

this needs to be the outside int of this pix

PIX 501

one of the 4 switch ports

Intranet

this theoretically should work. a 515 with 3 interfaces is MUCH cleaner than this hack
