RE: Firewall Throughput

Darren,

| If you value security, the PIX isn't the answer,
| IMHO.

Are you saying PIX is not secure? Are you able to elaborate? I have
never had any problem with pix, and it certainly has not failed any
'ethical attacks' that haven throwed against it (unlike other vendors,
which can be really esoteric in their configs to get around known
vulnerabilities).

ps - I personally like ipfilter, but it is extremly hard to sell it
executives who sign the cheques when ther eis no official support from
the vendor (ie - 24/7 by phone, etc...), thus I have to use commercial
products like fw-1, pix and others.
