Title: Nachricht

Have a look at www.astaro.com,you can download their all-in-one firewall.   Has staeful packet inspection, application proxies, virus protection and VPN, installed in 5 minutes on a normal PC, suporting up to 20 Interfaces.   Did stay up in tests against Cisco PIX favourably, same speed , but only half the price. And an easy to manage browser GUI.

It's so old it doesn't even have a model # and the Cisco techs get confused when I call because most have never heard of this model. No access lists or anything. Anyway, the point here is that it's old. I'm looking to update my Firewall so I can have features like Intrusion Detection, VPNs, etc. Was hoping someone could point me in the rihgt direction of what firewalls to look at. My environment is as follows: 1 WAN interface (connected to a T1 line to our ISP) 2 DMZ interfaces 1 Internal interface We could have up to 700 concurrent users going outbound through the firewall at a given time. I was thinking about looking at newer PIXs, Microsoft ISA, and Checkpoint Firewall. Of course, I'm not sure where to begin. Any recommendations? PS - Where is the best site to read the current msgs to this mailing list?  I don't like them sent to my email, I'd rather read them from a URL that is updated as messages are posted.  I'm new here... J Thanks. Jesse
