Thanks Jon (and Patrick and Mark).  I just ran into Zorp earlier today
but was still looking into who was actually using it and how good an
implementation of a proxy firewall it is.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

Here's one I looked at awhile ago....   open source but maybe not free:

The Symantec Raptor firewall which became the Symantec Gateway Security blah blah is going away.  I think they are 
getting out of the firewall biz.

With love,

Jonathan

    I don't know any open source ones, but did work with 2 good commercial
    ones:
    - Sidewinder by Secure Computing
    - Raptor, now by Symantec

    Hi,
      I just finished reading Marcus Ranum's very interesting paper -

    http://www.ranum.com/security/computer_security/editorials/deepinspect/
    index.html
      - comparing "deep packet inspection firewalls" with "proxy firewalls"
      and was interested in investigating open source "proxy firewalls".
    Do
      open source proxy firewalls even exist, and if so, which would you
      recommend and why?  Thank you for your help.
