Hello,
I am currently looking for a new firewall. We are currently running IBM
Firewall v3.1 on an old PowerPC. We have a new loaded Sparc Ultra 10 box
that we are going to run the firewall on.
My problem is the software. I wanted to go with Checkpoint, but since I am
at a government agency, we have a short list of options. We have narrowed
our choices down to Axent's Raptor, and Network Associates Gauntlet.
I am used to a packet filtering firewall, so this will be a large change in
concept for us. I was wondering if I could get some insight from so folks
that have used these firewalls.
Here are some of my concerns,
a. We have quite a few "Home Grown" apps that use odd ports. Can I make
my own proxies?
b. We do quite a bit of NT networking through our firewall. I know Raptor
6 has NT proxies built in, how about Gauntlet?
c. I have around 1800 users, over half of which have apps that connect to
remote servers. Will these firewalls handle this workload?
Thanks in advance for any info.
Steve Connolly
