Hey Thomas,


I meant that to be a plug for ISA 2004. I think ISA 2004 is great. We have two ISA 2004 boxes that firewall and provide internet access for 3,500 machines. ISA 2004 has been rock solid for us. ISA 2004 provides advanced logging and caching functions that a "hardware" firewall cannot provide. I have nothing against unix, but ISA 2004 is great.
We could have paid 50k for a single pix to provide firewall services. Then signed up for a 5k a year maintenance agreement (so we could rcv updates). And all machines need updates, even "hardware" firewalls have an OS. And ISA still does so much more.

Yes, it's that good. Go Daddy and the ISP are clueless. Have you ever
talked to your ISP's "tech guys" who make these recommendations? Let's
just say that the typical interaction leaves you with the feeling that
they're not on the top of the firewall and networking food chains :)
