Re: Iptables vs. Cisco PIX

["Taylor, Grant" <gtaylor@riverviewtech.net>]

I personally would not claim to know Cisco PIX in any way shape or form as I
have done VERY little work with them.  That being said I have done a little
bit of work on PIXies (is that how you would say PIX plural?) and found it
to be more than a little bit odd.  I'm not saying that there is any thing
wrong with them, I'm just not very comfortable working with them.  IMHO if
my money is on the line I'm going ot use a Linux box running IPTables
IPRoute2 every time that I can.
