Good day, Yep, that's pretty much the way it works. Checkpoint should be thought of as a router from a routing and network topology standpoint. I've done a few conversions of Proxy based FW environments to Checkpoint, and every time the networking staff really cringes at having to start doing default routes in their network. --------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J.

I have a checkpoint administrator with his firewall providing access to the internet. I don't really like the idea of having a default route pointing out to the internet, but he assures me this is the only configuration the Checkpoint can do. Is this true? How do others deal with this? I am more used to either a socks or proxy configuration for an internet firewall.
