Why do you prefer two firewalls? Does that mean are you not confident enough with the first firewall capabilities!!

Ravi,

Notice the name of his post. It's called "Defense In Depth". It's a concept all its own that you should look into. It's based on the idea of making it so that more than one layer of defense needs to be circumvented before an attacker can get what he wants.

Look into it.  I think you'll find it both interesting and beneficial.
