I'm looking at firewall appliances. There are two possible SIMPLE options for deployment, both are T1 links to Internet, IPSec VPN to corporate (LAN-to-LAN type link), and allow outbound web surfing. Admin will be done remotely from corporate location. Environment1 is less than 50 hosts, little to no non-VPN inbound traffic (DNS maybe, mail and other services are gateway'ed via corporate VPN). Environment2 is less than 200 hosts (a lot of that is not desktops, no/little Internet traffic from them, maybe 50 desktops generating 80% of traffic), Inbound traffic goes to DMZ segment with low traffic web server, DNS, SMTP, and some lite FTP traffic. A handful of remote mobile VPN links from sales user's laptops via Internet dial-ups in the field may occur on any given day (implies need for VPN laptop software). Ideal solution is same device in both locations with cost < $6000 ea (software and hardware). As of now, Netscreen-10 devices are at the top of the list, comments from experienced users of these devices are welcome. Comments on other devices that may be of interest are welcome. Pointers to appliance reviews/whitepapers are also welcome. In fact, I'll pretty well take any info on any appliances that remotely fit these environments :-). Feel free to spare the list members and blast me info in private. Like the old B&J commercials said: "Thank you for your support". Dana Nowell Cornerstone Software Inc.
