Right, it's not a router, but that doesn't stop people from running EIGRP
or OSPF which essentially turns it into a one. Right or wrong, I see this
all the time in different customer environments...

Of course I have the ability to see things from other peoples
viewpoints, and so I get what you're saying here. As with all things
security its a give and take. What i was saying was, when
I'm troubleshooting a network from the ASA, there were times this
feature would have come in handy.

With the arrival of new commands (eg tcp ping) the need for such features
is a thing of the past, assuming we're running 8.4 and above ;)
