I had purchased one and ended up sending it back, due to (what I think is)
a strange restriction on NAT. It will only NAT the protected network, not
the DMZ network. You need public IP addresses for whatever machines you
have on the DMZ network. Ive only got a single external IP, so it wouldnt
work for us. Other than that, it looked pretty nice.
BTW, I ended up using the GnatBox package (www.gnatbox.com). It uses a
standard PC, so its not quite as much of an appliance, but you get more
performance out of it (use a faster PC), and it doesnt have the funny NAT
restriction.
