Sure, take care of assymetric routing which breaks traffic, but if you have the 
free external public addresses in place it should be as simple as changing the 
lan hosts gateway to the new firewall.

This can frequently go very wrong though, do take care of assymetric routing or 
IP conflicts.

Rebuild the entire network with VMs in ESX, vswitches and all, then bring up 
vms on various vswitches for testing, ping, tcp, udp etc.

I rebuilt my entire production work network in ESX, carp et all so I can 
perform upgrade testing.

Fire is bad m'kay

Cheers,
