A PIX -is- a router (firewall router.) Hence, ip route statements and the
ability to run RIP. It's a box with two (or more) interfaces that connects
networks. Granted, it's not a box you would use for 'normal' routing
functions but to say the PIX is not a router is just wrong.
Little off the topic so I'll subside ;^)
