I have a pair of Cisco ASA 5520s running as a primary/standby. Everything is working properly with the primary ASA, however when I trigger a failover, everything works except for the DMZ interface on the standby ASA. I've poured over the configs, but perhaps I have been staring at them too long because I am just not seeing anything.
Below is the output of the sh run failover, sh failover, and sh run interface commands for each unit...

Does anyone see something I might be missing? I am at a loss...

I'll just answer my own question...the configs are correct, but it the interface on the standby ASA was plugged into an improperly configured switchport. That'll do it everytime.
