[plug] Linux firewall protecting proprietary unix hw?

[Johann Vincent Paul U. Tagle]

Hi.  We're looking for a firewall solution.  An officemate of mine seems 
uncomfortable with using a linux-based firewall to protect servers running 
proprietary/commercial unix.  I think given good hardware, proper 
configuration, and maybe to increase comfort level, using commercial (with 
vendor support) but still linux-based firewall software, we should be fine.

It would help my case if I can give them a live setup that has similar 
configuration.  Anybody here doing that?  Suggestions on what 
distribution/software to use are also most welcome.  Also, know of any 
firewall solution that can be configured for high availability/clustering?

Thanks a lot.

Johann
