Hello and welcome to LQ.

Note LQ doesn't do "urgent". LQ is a volunteer-driven community effort relying on its members to supply answers when they can, not when *you* want it. Considering you don't pay for LQ you may not expect anything. If you want 24/7/* dedicated realtime response capability please consider hiring a local GNU/Linux guru.

is it possible to implement heartbeat with ct_sync
You mean http://svn.netfilter.org/cgi-bin/vie...ME?view=markup doesn't give you those steps?

Incidentally, if you're looking for "redundant firewall," start by putting a router which has a built-in firewall at the front door of your network. They're usually quite good.
