Oh, I'll just pop on a secondary address on this interface... What?
Needed to go through fits just to get a hairpin route in the thing.
The ASA series is good at what it does, just don't plan on it acting like router IOS.
Sorry, but I'm with Owen. Square : Rectangle :: Firewall : Router A firewall is a router, despite how much so many security folk try to deny it. And firewalls that seem to try to intentionally be crappy routers (ie, ASAs) have no place in my network. If it can't be a decent router, then its going to suck as a firewall too, because a firewall has to be able to play nice with the rest of the network, and if they can't do that, then I have no use for them. I'll get a firewall that does. -- Jeff
