Interesting read. Thanks.
Goes to show - Cisco excels in service and support. I used to think the
licensing procedure for Ciscoworks and Baseliner was a pain. Wow, what a
breeze compared to Checkpoint!
Another interesting comment - the PIX 506 licensing. Cisco has taken to
being very opaque about what a PIX 506 can and should do. Last time I
checked, Cisco's party line was that the 506 is good for "up to 10 internet
connections" and the folks at the pre-sales help line I spoke to were unable
to clarify this statement. Interesting, since I had recalled from
documentation that has long since been deleted from CCO, that the 506 was
good for several thousand simultaneous TCP connections, which is plenty for
any business of a couple hundred users. I suspect Cisco kinda shot
themselves in the foot with the 506, in that it is undercutting sales of
515's to small enterprises.

In a serious enterprise of scale, I would indeed consider using both a pix
and a server based firewall.
