PIX doesn't support these 2 features. Actually I believe that altough Cisco PIX firewalls' performance's are better than checkpoint, they have some disadvantages. Besides the features you have mentioned also Pix lacks some NAT properties, logging performance etc.

I have questions about Pix firewalls. We are a small company, less than 50 people. a) Does pix firewall support QOS, traffic shaping or traffic prioritization? The checkpoint firewall we are using has a feature called "flood-gate" that can prioritize both inbound and outbound traffic. We would like to have this feature in Pix firewall as well. b) Does pix support http load balancing? Checkpoint has a feature that supports http load-balancing for inbound traffic. We need this feature to load balance our web servers. I would like to have this feature in pix as well. We don't have the budget for dedicated load-balancer such as Cisco CSS. Open freeware is out of the question, will not fly pass management. Can pix do those things above without additional hardware? Regards, Eric --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
