Re: Firewall scaling

 Sami, it also depends on what type of traffic you are jamming down theone wan link. If you have any type of mail 
server behind your firewall, you may move up to that 32000 ceiling real quick. Provide a little more information and 
this list will help you out. With that many users and not knowing traffic types or amounts it is hard to give you a 
decent rationale for your argument.
