Keith,

Curious, What cisco firewall do you currently have and what version OS is on it?

Who told you that a WatchGuard firewall is more secure than a Cisco firewall?

The PIX does what you are asking for. If you have information to the counter, please post.

Cheers!

Just wanted to get some feedback from the list regarding some research I'm
currently working on.  We're replacing our existing Cisco firewall with a
dedicated firewall hardware/software solution to provider greater security
and VPN access.

I've been looking at the Netscreen and various Watchguard products at this
time.  The current environment is as follows;

- NAT environment
- DMZ to host web accessible servers
- 100 internal users
- Extensive intranet site & visitation to several high profile B2B sites.
- Constant 10 user VPN community.
- Redundant T1 connection managed by RADware Linkproof hardware solution.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
