[FW1] basic security question- a little off topic

[donna.m.oconnell@FW1-NOSPAMverizon.com]

Hello all,

I would be interested in your opinion about any security issues  about
default routes.  The issue has been raised here that we should not have a
default route pointing to the internet (thru a FW, of course).  The
internet access should be handled with proxies at the FW level.   I do not
see any issues, secuirty or otherwise, with a default route  but am I
missing something?  It seems without a default route I will have a lot of
headaches (similar to the one I have right now!)

Thanks,
Donna
