To All:

Just wanted to get some opinions on Cisco's new product, PIX, Private 
Internet Exchange. We are a Cisco shop, as far as our routers go, however, I 
am somewhat leery about PIX's firewall capabilities. It seems to basically 
be an address translator, which hides the internal network from view, but 
offers no user level authentication, and no in-bound connections of any 
type, unless in response to an internally generated request.

Has anyone out there actually used this product, and if so, what did you 
think? I am especially interested in PIX's configurability, and logging 
capabilities. Any information at all on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
