Can anyone comment on the "security servers"? I've heard this alluded to before (that FW-1 has legit ALG capability) but I also "heard" that nobody uses them because they're a pain in the ass or don't work or somesuch. Would anyone care to put up an opinion? If FW-1 has some ALGs that actually work I might even drop it from my ten-foot-pole list....Lord knows that NAI seems to have lost the plot these days - it's hard to keep the faith in Gauntlet. Why is it that the more stuff I see the more I want to spend time working on custom Open Source Only solutions? There's another question - from a business point of view, is there any chance at all that someone will build a company based on Open Source and make money with all their IP (uh...Intellectual Property, not the _real_ IP ;) hanging out in the wind?
