and port WAN_A2 is inactive at Gateway A; port WAN_B1 is active and port WAN_B2 is
inactive at Gateway B.

Gateway-to-Gateway, Dual WAN Ports
The IP addresses of the gateway WAN ports can be either fixed or dynamic, but a
fully-qualified domain name must always be used because the active WAN ports could be
either WAN_A1, WAN_A2, WAN_B1, or WAN_B2 (i.e., the IP address of the active WAN port
is not known in advance).
After a rollover of a gateway WAN port, the previously inactive gateway WAN port becomes
the active port (port WAN_A2 in this example) and one of the gateway VPN firewalls must
re-establish the VPN tunnel.

Gateway to Gateway, Dual WAN Ports after Rollover
The purpose of the fully-qualified domain names is this case is to toggle the domain name of
the failed-over gateway firewall between the IP addresses of the active WAN port (i.e.,
WAN_A1 and WAN _A2 in this example) so that the other end of the tunnel has a known
gateway IP address to establish or re-establish a VPN tunnel.
VPN Gateway-to-Gateway: Dual Gateway WAN Ports for Load Balancing
In the case of the dual WAN ports on the gateway VPN firewall, either of the gateway WAN
ports at one end can be programmed in advance to initiate the VPN tunnel with the
