Yep, we have a combination of VME routers (CN, LN and LOTS of AFNs).
We are currently using a CN to provide firewall packet filtering.
In the near future, we will be adding a bastion-host based firewall, not
because of any problems with the WF, simply for the advantages of
a UNIX based firewall. By in large, it was easy to configure and
has been very reliable. If interested, I can give you some sample
'traffic filters'. tom
