[AusNOG] Q sonicwall and juniper

[Andrew Jones]

I have quite a few SRX clusters running, and find them very reliable in 
general. Most of the issues which were there earlier have been sorted 
out.
"Commit rollback", which used not to be available in earlier versions 
of junos when clustering was enabled now works as well, which is a big 
plus in my book.
