Jeffrey, A few things you'll need to be aware of:
1) If you want to get an additional Internet connection for redundancy, it will have to be Ethernet since the PIX does not support WAN connections. 2) The PIX cannot act as an HTTP proxy, so you may have to change the config on the clients so that they will work in transparent mode. Other than this, a PIX525 should handle 2000 users with no problem.

The customer is using MS Proxy as their security enforcement point with a few ACLs on the router. They are soon getting a new ISP who will be dropping off a 10M Ethernet connection to replace the T1s. Is there any reason we shouldnt drop a PIX in there to replace the 3640 (and MS Proxy)? This is a university with 2000+ students and were looking at a PIX-525. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Jeffrey Reed Classic Networking, Inc.
