Marcus Ranum raises a raft of interesting points, but this discussion is
wandering far afield indeed. I confess to being the guilty party here ...
"just answering a question" starts you down the slipery slope.
Rather than take more bandwidth on this, let me make two suggestions:
1. Why doesn't someone set up a "Firewalls-philosophy" list, so we can
segregate this type of question from the technical ("how can I proxy
MOSAIC") ones. Not that these questions are bad, quite to the
contrary. Let's just get the two communities from using each other's
bandwidth.
2. On a more personal level, I will be giving a talk on Firewall Routing
in December at the 10th Annual Computer Security Applications Conference
in Orlando. Anyone who wants to come and throw tomatoes is welcome.
And now back to Brendt's regularly scheduled programming ...
