Frederick, you continually sit in the back of the room and raise your hand
pointing our ways that things _could_ be broken, and how they _might_ have
a problem, and how people don't design firewalls with the right considerations.
Frankly, I think your observation about high load v. low load systems is
silly, and while I am open to correction, I know of no commonly used firewall
Operating System that performs (security-wise) differently under high load than
it does under low load. If you know of a specific example of how this can
manifest itself, then I would be glad to hear it. I'm just tired of this
firewall banter, it reminds me of kindergarten where everyone has to tell
their own version of how they see something, and how something might happen,
without the fortitude to setup a test lab and determine if it does.
