Suggestions on a Web App firewall?

If your budget is big enough, I'm extremely partial to Citrix Netscalers for this kind of thing.  Seen two of them 
paired up doing inspection on a 100 meg circuit that got maxed out, and their utilization was only 10 percent.  They 
have awesome security features too like SQL injection guards.

Subject: [Pauldotcom] Suggestions on a Web App firewall?

It's been over three years since I've been hands on any firewalls that
have web app capabilities... so I'm going to open this up to folks
like you.  Yes you.  You seem very nice and trust-able.

Do you have any suggestions on web application firewalls?
Specifically, I'm looking for something appliance based and (sorry to
use this term) enterprise-y (specifically, as in nice centralized
management for multiple nodes, etc).

What are some products I should review?  If you provide a name, please
let me know what you like about it.  Are there ones I should avoid?



Thanks for your help!

PS: please don't mention host based software options like mod_security
(for apache) or eEye's whatchamacallit for IIS.  We have host based
solutions already.  We want/need inline network devices in this
instance...  I don't care what GDead (Bruce from Shmoo Group) said...
I still think security-in-depth is a worthy goal.   ;-)
