| I vote not to use it.
I have use this brand of product twice and feel disappointed.
Firebox I: I have to reboot the firebox after 3 to 4 days busy traffic. The Watchguard technican said the RAM buffer is full! Damn it.
Firebox II: This time I tried to use at home. Sometimes NAT got problem, not stable.
If you insist on, good luck.
I would vote for Cisco PIX 515
Excellent performance | |

| We use it at work. I don't have a lot of experience with it, but I do use it. Any specific questions? | |

| Try to test as many Internet service like ftp, nntp, http, telnet, ssh, etc as possible in order to test whether the NAT/PAT functions as expect. Ask your colleagues for help to use as much as bandwidth to test if there is any memory leakage for the firebox itself (test at least 2 hours)
Finally, make sure you know whom to find if there is problem.
Good Luck. | |
