I refer to this as the Mojo Bag Theory of Firewall Purchase. The idea is that you buy one and just having it keeps away the evil eye. :-) (Burning incense in front of the firewall may or may not be a "best practice", depending on the particular shaman, er, consultant, that you call in to do the eval.) - - jcp
Burning incense in the presence of a firewall is soooooo medieval (and, more often than not, sets off the halogen sensors)........a more contemporary "best practice" is periodically waving a Junior Auditor over the firewall. Works for me, PG
