This seems redundant with your other post about HA, and I would offer the same resource to best answer your question:  https://help.fortinet.com/fos60hlp/60/Content/FortiOS/fortigate-high-availability/HA_FGCP_best_pract...

I will also check this guide. If it makes sense to have 2 VDOMs to split and load balance traffic. Following this guide you can also achieve HA . https://docs.fortinet.com...-two-fortigates-expert Kind regards, Adi

i would stay away from active-active. it sounds nice but without the two VDOMs it's use is very limited.

 

with the two VDOMs you create a setup that not many people run which more issues during trouble shooting and a higher chance on bugs.

 

also keep in mind that with active-active your firewalls still can't be loaded higher then 50% or you have to accept no redundancy.
