Third Party ISP and firewall maintainers

[Srinath Sarang <Srinath . Sarang @ saturn . sdsu . edu>]

Hello,
	Does anyone have any experience letting a third party ISP/firewall
maintainer maintain your T-1 and your firewalls.... I know I am going to
be blasted for this question but I need to know what folks out there feel
about letting a third party run your firewalls.

The third party in question is Pilot Networks. Has anyone dealt with them and if
so how would you rate their service. (http://www.pilot.net)

There are significant advantages to letting a third party maintain your
firewalls for you (as there is always someone else to blame for instance :-),
but on the same token there are a million other disadvantages too...

Can I get some folks to dicuss this out on the mailing list.

Any comments on this are appreciated by email or by discussions on the mailing
list.

thanks

Srinath
