|Hi,
|
|We are sloooowly moving towards an internet connection and were taking
|for granted that we were going to use a Cisco Router as our firewall
|router. However with this recent thread regarding the Cisco AGS+ and
|limitations regarding filtering, we are taking another look at that
|assumption. We are currently using Cisco Routers and Telebit NetBlazers
|as our routers of choice. I have also evaluated a 3Com NetBuilder II
|about 9 months ago, but that evaluation was for use as a bridge not as
|a router.
We have here Cisco routers and I have to do my filtering with them, which
I'm not happy with. How about sites having one link to the outside world
have the Cisco do the routing and put a dual-homed PC between the Cisco
and the outside world? Recently there have been announcment of pretty nice
PC-based routers which should be able to do this work without affecting the
throughput too much.
This solution would be hard to implement for sites like us where we have about
4 links to outside the campus.
Any comments about how usefull is such a solution?
Cheers,
