Again,
There is already a Firewalls FAQ which is very good, and is nonvendor specific.
Phoneboy had a terrific FAQ on Firewall-1, Raptor-tower or whoever hosts
the Raptor Mailing list has a good FAQ, but assembling a web page
describing the differences between a Hybid Adaptive Proxy Firewall verssus
a Stateful Packet Inspection has been done over and over again..
Why not just put together a dynamic flowchart which allows the user to
choose their options and allow the engine to pick the product that best
fits an organization's needs with solutions ranging from the Pinto --->
Cadillac..
