The enterprise security add-on for fw1 should be sufficient to suit your
vpn needs. The only drawback to utilizing the internal VPN capabilities
of firewalls is in ultra high bandwidth environments, since it does eat up
a -small- amount of resources on the firewall itself. The real question is
what exists on the other side of the vpn? Are you trying to support
mobile users with shims, are you trying to tunnel to another fw1 box, or
are you trying to get fw1 to communicate with something like RedCreek
or VPNet, or Xedia equipment? They pretty much all intercommunicate at the
ipsec level , but some require tweaking to do so.
