Hi
Thanks all
lot of people said that the performance on Firewall-1 is excellent.
Some configs of sun machines running firewall-1:
ultra5, 300MHz. 128MB ram
ultra10, 300MHz, 500mb ram
ultra2, dual 300MHz, 256 mb ram.-- easily handled dual load balanced T-3
IT is suggested that one put ACLs on the routers to reduce some load off of
the firewalls.
Another option suggested was Sunscreen EFS
adv: NAT is simple. command line as well as JAVA based interface.
Does not require license key if you don't need HA.
Thanks
