RE: OSPF on Firewall

["Melson, Paul" <PMelson () sequoianet com>]

That depends on the firewall.  If you implement a bridging firewall, then there should be no reason the routers need to 
know that anything has changed.

If inserting the firewall changes the path, then the obvious solution is to have the firewall use OSPF also (assuming 
it's supported).  I don't want to say "no other way," but it does make sense.

Lets say that I have two routers (on an internal network) that talk OSPF
between them.

Now I have to insert a firewall in-between the two routers.

I am led to believe (by the Communications people I work with) that there is
no other option but to install OSPF on the firewall, which doesn't make me
feel easy about the solution.

Is it true that there is no other way around this problem?
