The most important factor is administrators knowledge of the used operating system so I would recommend to stick with Linux. However I think that NetBSD/OpenBSD ipf/pf systems are much easier when it comes to security policy configuration so if you don't have experience with iptables/ipchains this might affect to your decision. rgds, Harri _______________________________________________ Firewalls mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnac.net/mailman/listinfo/firewalls
