Christoph, what did you exactly expect from a one week old list? If you expect perfect sollutions after this short time, I would thing that you expect the wrong thing. The goal of the list is to find a way how to build a Debian based Firewall. We don't know the result, we don't know if there even will be one.
IMHO it is wrong to expect from this list a quallity and level as seen on lists like fw-wizards. Every project starts with a phase of brainstorming, to isolate some of the areas to start with them. I work with Internet firewalls since 1994, and with networks in very security sensitive areas since 1986. A Campus-Network as run by you is open compared to these networks. I am responsible for the security of the systems and concepts designed by me. I don't say (like you) that this list is not usable for me. I have the oportunity to bring in my expierience with the drawbacks of comerciall firewalls and my expert knowledge in some security related areas to build a better (and cheaper ;-) Debian based firewall.
