Trent,
I'm not really the designer for this firewall, but I'd sure like to comment.
I think the 2.4 kernel firewalling code is relatively untested within large
businesses. I'm still worried about bugs that haven't been fixed just yet.
I'm sure that this firewall will get 2.4 firewalling soon, as soon as it
looks more stable in-house.
