I find that having both covers area where both are weak and takes advantage of both of their strengths. I didn't see the original posting...what OS are you using? What about Black Ice? I think that comes in a format for the server versions of Windows...not sure if it comes in Linux/Unix vers.

FYI ZoneAlarm catches ALL KINDS of stuff (including not allowing info to leak out or viruses/trojans etc to phone home) that the routers never catch. Unfortuneately Zone Labs don't make a server OS firewall software. .....and now a note to all others that may feel the way Russ does....I respect your opinions but I don't want to hear them as I'm after answers to my question ;-) I am asking specifically about server OS firewall software.
