I have a couple of whinges about the Barracuda web filtering product
we have (a 410, IIRC)

o- It will not simultaneously do its own logging and syslogging to a
remote host. That kinda sucks because you have to choose between log
correlation and spot monitoring via the fairly reasonable interface
they provide.

o- It seems to lose its mind every few months, requiring a reboot - it
just stops passing ports 80 and 443, or rather it becomes *EXTREMELY*
slow - on the order of minutes to load a page.

The FreeBSD/Squid/Apache box I had running didn't have these problems,
but the manager wanted something with commercial support.
