I am Old School, I guess. In my day Step One would be "Fire the administrator." The job is by nature a 24 X 7 X 52 job and "On Call" the rest of the time. "Vacation" is never a reason to leave your assignment insecure.

"NAT-based firewall"?  Really?

How long has the consultant been out of business?

Luckily, I minored in Computer Science so I have

I started to write that you have an emergency on your hands and you need to focus your attention of finding a person or firm that can take charge and fix problems you don't even know about yet.

A "Dear Abby" approach is going do way more harm than good.
