      If the master box comes back online while failed over to the backup firewall is there a way to not have it become master again. I don't it to fail back automatically. I want it to stay failed over until I manually tell it to fail back.

        I dont think this is possible.

        But the node with the lowest advertising frequency will be master.
        So you could per default have the master on lets say 4 and the slave on 5.
        <– 4 is master, 5 is slave

        If the master goes down the slave takes over.
        <-- 5 is master

        Now before you connect up the new box you set it to 6.
        So you have to set it manually to 4 to take over.
        <-- 5 is master, 6 is backup
        manually change to
        <-- 4 is master, 5 is backup

        We do what we must, because we can.
