Linux IPFilter

["rod.marten () domail maricopa edu" <rod.marten () domail maricopa edu>]

Has anyone seen a comparison between various commercial Firewalls
(Cisco, Checkpoint) and a linux IPfilter based firewall?  With the
exception of possible configuration errors, is the IPfilter as secure as
a commercial firewall?  Lastly, has anyone had experiences using such
firewalls in large environments?

I am looking at deploying a firewall based on RedHat Linux hardened with
Bastille, Dell hardware, IPfilter, and fwBuilder for a configuration
interface.

thanks
