I'd like to setup a box with 2 NICs as a firewall which will also rate limits outbound traffic. What happens when/if that box hangs or is rebooted? I'd like a solution that when there is a failure, traffic can still go through the box even though the firewall and rate limiting functions will no longer be in effect. I believe that this is "failing closed" but have yet to find an intuitive definition - "closed" to traffic going through or (the opposite of an "open" circuit) a "closed" circuit which would allow traffic?
