yes, both will work, but just adding a nic would be much cheaper. If money is an issue, just but a pro100+ off the shelf, it should work fine. I did some testing with a 525, and 5.2. installed 2 none cisco intel nics and the worked great.
But if you plan on having more vendors and money isn't an issue i would get a new pix and use it just for vendor connections.. --- Harry Whitehouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello All! > > I have a small private network (10.0.0.X) running > behind a PIX 520 firewall. > It's currently > interfacing to a public www network (UUnet) and I'm > using NAT to translate > the public addresses to my > private network.
