What a ridiculous statement - of course it does. *The place of the stateful firewall is in front of clients, not servers*. I'm not going to continue the unequal contest of pitting real-world operational experience against Confused Information Systems Security Professional brainwashing. One can spout all the buzzwords and catchphrases one wishes, but at the end of the day, it's all dead wrong - and anyone naive enough to fall for it is setting himself up for a world of hurt. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins () arbor net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice. -- H.L.
