Is it a firewall or a dessert topping? Firewalls should firewall, not
serve services. If you can't afford one box to firewall, and another
to provide services, well, you're in a fix. I got a Sun IPX I'll give
you if you pay shipping (anything to end this topic) -- Hardly sucks
any juice, too.

I'm sure I'm part of a large majority of list members who would be
thrilled to see this topic end. While there's no harm in asking for a
feature expansion, and a discussion about the technical feasibility of
it, when it devolves into accusations of "zealot speak", it's time to
move on.
