Howdy Paul, I wasn't trying to differentiate between experts and beginners, but rather experts and people who can't be bothered to do it right. I don't think I indicated that the question was out of order--and in fact I tried to answer it, and explain my answer.

No offense, but this list is "firewall wizards", not "I don't have time to do a good job of being a firewall admin". I believe the responses you have gotten are appropriate and expert.
I'm going to throw this out there again[1] because it's probably been half a decade or so since I last said it- The demise of the Chapman firewall mailing list means that there simply aren't a lot of good resources for the beginner, the curious or the uninitiated. In that regard, I'm more apt to approve basic questions and "How do I do *splat* on my PIX?" than Marcus was. The list can't afford to "just tackle the Wizard questions" IMNSHO. _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () listserv icsalabs com https://listserv.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
