I wouldn't touch any X product for use over the Internet 
for *anything* (much less a firewall) due to the ease at
which the sessions can be taken over.  Also, authentication
that does not end up in an encrypted link between the user
and the firewall is only giving you a false sense of security
(as it too can be compromised fairly easily).
