Save $2000 and build your own with FreeBSD and ipfilter.
Much more flexibility than firewall boxes (eg, can have high speed WAN
interface to your WAN modem or DSU on the "outside" plus any number of
ethernet interfaces on the "inside". Try that with a firewall appliance)
and it's cheaper cost-of-ownership, since you can fix and upgrade the
hardware yourself, and no spare box to buy to keep your site running, no
h/w maintenance contract, no expensive phone support contract.
Your resum� will be much stronger, plus you'll have the pleasure and
confidence of knowing what is heck is going on within your own infrastructure.
