ODS will probably not correct some of the more serious issues with FW1,
issues such as licensing, logging, and pre-applied rules.
WRT licensing - many sites do not wish to register their external IP
address('s). Doing so can severely limit their flexibility, such as
when switching ISPs. This is mainly due to the problems and delays
Checkpoint's license database has always been known for.
Checkpoint also requires all licensees to register their company name,
address, contacts, email, (vendor?) etc. It's not clear what the
business case for this information is be but the fact that the
requirements exist should be a red flag to companies concerned with
privacy and economic espionage.
IMHO,
