Redundant pairs?  On the same box?  Is that in 8.x?

The typical "redundancy" setup is similar to 
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/illus/1/69/126669.jpg (this is actually 
multiple contexts).

You can lose either of the ASAs and everything keeps on chugging right 
along.

But if you lose any ONE of the FOUR switches in this scenario, you've 
hosed an entire context.
