[IMail Forum] OT: Need a Recommendation on a Really Good Firewall

[Chris Ulrich]

We've been running a name-brand firewall for a while now.  Over the last 
couple of weeks, we've seen a loss of traffic, people having difficulty 
connecting, etc.  Traffic doesn't seem much higher, we've rebooted the heck 
out of it, routers, etc....

We are upgrading our network (moving to a new facility) so it's probably a 
good time to upgrade anyway.  I'm looking for something that can:

1.  Be redundant (run 2 firewalls for failover)
2.  Full port controls, monitor active connections, etc.
3.  VPN
4.  Automatic DOS detection and blocking
5.  Load balancing between firewalls
6.  Internal load balancer functionality (if available) (ie. balance 
traffic between 3 web servers)

Price isn't the biggest factor; something solid, reliable and bullet-proof 
if the focus.  Please don't recommend X app on a linux box.
Not to start a religious war, but we don't do any Linux, not interested in 
learning it, etc.  Plug and play, baby.

Thanks
