An alternative multi-vendor approach is to use 1 vendor per stack layer, but alternate layer to layer. That is; Vendor A edge router, Vendor B firewall, Vendor A/C switches, Vendor D anti-SPAM software, etc. This doesn't address the bug impact issue as well as it alleviates the vendor "ownership" issue though...
i think this is where i say that i hope my competitors do this. it is a recipe for a complex set of delicate dependencies and great fun debugging. randy
