Let me go get a violin for you...You can cry us a river then.

This forum is Firewall related.  The point is to share info.  Which they have.  I found the information very useful as I am sure others have as well (especially since I am a consultant, and everyone can't afford hardware solutions).  This thread is probably one of the more on topic threads I have seen here anyway.

If you will recall they posted based on user request.  If you didn't request it then hit the delete button and keep going.

enough ranting...eric.
