Cisco has not release any information to the public yet on the new PIX 7.0 software release. I can tell you it is in Beta testing right now and there are a lot of great new features but eveything is under NDA right now. Keep an eye out on your newsletters for additional information in the near future. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I can atleast tell you one thing for sure, that the new OS does support Hub and spoke VPN without having to full mesh them if a PIX is used to terminate the VPN tunnels at the head end.

Hi Guys,

I'm led to believe it'll also support load-balancing and virtual IP addresses (GLBP-ish), as per Checkpoint

It's possible to download a beta version to test these new features ?

Maybe someone in cisco systems can tell when the new version it's ready ...

Thanks.
