There are two books in question, and Dave is asking about the newer book, that
came out this year.

The Cheswick/Bellovin book is "Firewalls and Internet Security".  Very good book
in my opinion.  Worth its weight in gold.

The new book that came out is by Karanjit Siyna & Chris Hare and is called
"Internet Firewalls and Network Security".  I bought this one, but didn't get
out half as much as the Cheswick/Bellovin book.  This book didn't go into the
detail (in my opinion) as Cheswick did but it *is* a decent book.  For more
detail though, definitely the Cheswich/Bellovin book is the one to get (if you
had a choice between the two).
