First, a hearty thank you to all those who replied to my fwtk vs seal
question last week.  I got a lot of quality replies that pretty much said 
that fwtk is plenty good, and that the most important factors are the 
knowledge and ability of the administrator and the site security policy.

Next question....

While suggesting a firewall for my organization myself, we have another 
gentleman who insists he can do everything with filters in his bridge 
that I can do with a firewall.

I would greatly appreciate hearing your best arguments for or against 
bridge filters vs a firewall as far as security is concerned.
