I agree with Colin.  I think some of these companies should spend some 
money and train whoever is going to be managing their firewalls.There is  
a need to ask questions but people should not depend on this list for all 
their problems. You can order some books from www.ora.com and anybody 
with a basic knowledge of TCP/IP should be able to read  and 
understand the contents of these books.
