Branch office down if UTM down?

JamesGolden
Can someone please verify for me what I'm reading? As far as I can tell, regardless of what mode the RED devices are in, if the central office UTM is offline for any reason, the branch offices will have no Internet (assuming of course that the RED is the gateway device for the branch office). 
Is this correct?

    Umpf, so it sounds like your branch PCs use the cable router as their default gateway instead of the RED and you've got static routes on the router to point HQ traffic to the RED. Correct?

    @JGolden:

    Yes, thats correct. The RED itself isn't the gateway, it's just a "pass-thru" device which extracts the traffic destined for the hq-utm via ip-header from all packets that are flowing through.

    The branch-office main-router do dns(-forwarding) and dhcp (from that the red gets the "wan"-ip which is showing up in the utm-webadmin).
