    Hi,

      I will have to install several servers all connected
    only with a switch and no standalone Firewall-Server.
    Looks like this:

        ( | ISP ROUTER | )
               |
               |
           | SWITCH |
               |
        ----------------------- ...
        | |
    | SERVER #1 | | SERVER #2 | ...

    I plan to install SuSEfirewall2 on every server and blocking
    all traffic from other IP-Adresses than my own range. All servers
    do only have public IP-Adresses. My Question:

    1. Is that feasable?
    2. Is that total nuts?
    3. Has running the firewall on every server a hard performance
       impact?
    4. If 2.) is true, how would I set up a failsafe setup with
       2 SuSEfirewall2 Servers?

    Many thanks for digging into my humble mind :)

    Peter
