Mark, yer missing the point, no one is saying a firewall can't pass any
protocol, they are saying that there are some protocols that should not be
passed, and this poorly written corba app that defined this thread is one
such beast. There's a point to be avoided whence the firewall becomes
little more then a router, this has to be avoided.
