Dual ASA firewall

David Ng

I would like to setup ASA firewall for Web hosting

As there is requirement of resilience, it is necessary to have setup two ASA in two Datacenter. In order to provide redundant path in case one ASA down, I would like to setup ASA to use OSPF at both ASA's WAN sides to connect ISP.  For LAN side, it is assumed the Ethernet had extended between site1 and site2.  For internal LAN ASA does not support HSRP/VRRP, so it may also need to setup OSPF protocol. May I ask if this design is feasible or not ? Is there any recommend design.

Assuming you have L2 extension between the two LANs and a backup for the circuit if it fails, I normally just configure the firewalls for active/standby failover with no state synchronisation.

You don't need HSRP then.  You don't need OSPF usually either.  Just put in a static route tot he ISP.  If you have dual ISP links, ask the provider to enabled HSRP and your default then goes via their HSRP address.
