I suggest you read the thread: the OP brought up the Sonicwall -- it
worked fine at his location, not at the clients, and the clients are
behind a SonicWall.

If you've had the displeasure of using a SonicWall, you would know why
I abhor them.

A sample setup:
client PC's behind a sonic wall
web server outside the sonic (NOT in the 'dmz', the port labelled DMZ
is not a DMZ according to SonicWall support.  "Box no do that" is the
direct quote.)

Very simple.

HTTP Posts for me (outside the sonicwall to the web server): I uploaded
20M flv files in a second or two.

HTTP post for people behind the sonic wall of the same files: 2
minutes.

Not exaggerating.

In order to make their life better, we used a second ethernet port on
the web server with a net-10 address so that they could actually post
in a reasonable time by bypassing the Sonic.  Of course, that totally
destroys the point of having a fireall when a public facing and highly
visible web server has an ethernet port on the 'secured' network.

Amazingly bad crap.

It was switched out for a Linux box running shorewall, and the
complaints about speed went away.  Not only did their access to their
own web server speed up, so did their access to everything on the
'net.

do you have contradictory experience with SonicWall?

Again, read the first post.  I didn't bring up SonicWall: the OP did,
and I expressed my experience with it.  We had three of the things,
they all got written off and given away.

What is your experience with SonicWalls?

Now back to the killfile you go.
