Re: Firewall setup

[Neil Ratzlaff <neil.ratzlaff () ucop edu>]

Either firewall should work.
The infrastructure behind the firewall should not be a factor.  Your 
technical decision should be based on expected traffic loads and whether 
the firewall can enforce your security policy, and of course how well you 
can deal with the system the firewall software runs on.
