If you are going to use NAT, understand it thoroughly before you implement
it.  Static NAT's take a translation and a conduit.  Getting the addresses
backwards causes the firewall to lock up any time someone tries to access
the incorrectly "translated" address.

If you are not an IOS guy, get the GUI tools installed.  They are a
little more friendly.

My company is getting a Cisco PIX firewall next month.  I need to know what
if any shortcomings this black box has and what I should be looking for.
Also, what Intrusion detection software would work best with this?  Any
tips or hints would be greatly appreciated.
