I wonder why a CCIE would recommend a PIX?
I do like PIX firewall's they are great to deploy to clients sites,
since they are a "black box" and I don't my clients trying to
reconfigure them.
OTOH, I run FreeBSD based firewalls (ipfw/natd) at my office, since they
are cheap and quick to deploy (under $1000US/box).
Just my 1 cent
(I'm not worthy to put in 2 cents yet)

Subject: PIX for main firewall
Hello,
My company currently uses a RS/6000 running IBM Firewall for AIX
as
its main firewall to the internet. Our CCIE consultant that we had in
suggested replacing it with a PIX box. I have set up PIX's before, but
I
was wondering what the general feeling was on using a PIX vs. a less
black
box solution as your main firewall. I like the flexibility of the IBM
firewall, but I know PIX's have a reputation for being (almost)
Impenetrable. Any suggestions?
Dave
