Cacheflow Appliance

[Waggott Ian <Ian.Waggott () btcellnet net>]

Hi folks,
Does anybody have any good or bad experiences with implementing and managing
the Cacheflow appliance. My company are considering using this product for
increased performance for outgoing Web based access. I have been sent the
details of a Security report carried out by Hiverworld, that suggested you
could run the Cacheflow in parallel to the your companies enterprise
Firewall. (i.e. by-passing the firewall)
The report suggests that because the Cacheflow OS is propriety and does not
allow inbound connection attempts. That it will "outscore" a Firewall in a
Security Penetration test.
I'm a bit uncomfortable with this approach, we have used  application
Firewall's for Internet & Mail access for several years.
Any feedback would be gratefully received.

Regards
Ian
