Michael,
Make sure any responses you get are talking about the current version of BorderManager.
Previous versions were not good for firewalls. In fact, a good plan was:
LAN <----> BorderManager <----> Firewall <---> Internet
With the current version you no longer need a separate firewall.
The best thing that BorderManager gives you that most firewalls don't is control over
your users by
their login. You can specify who and when the internet is available to.
You can also block sites by URL to keep those porno sites off your local network.
BorderManager FastCache (available separately) can free up bandwidth by cacheing
commonly
accessed sites, but if you do this you'll wont to give it the best hardware to run on
that you can afford.
