The Dee PC2724 cant move its mgmnt vlan from VLAN1, and *BSD vlan(1)
wont transmit VLAN 1 as tagged (per spec).

The work around is to assign VLAN1's IP on your *BSD gear to the
physical interface of your VLAN trunk.

I agree.

Just to confirm... you do not encourage the use of fragment reassembly
at forwarding points other than the network periphery?

We recently ran into some intermittent TCP connection stalls in a
network where end point systems were behind as many a three PF systems
end-point to end-point.  "pfctl -x loud" had a direct correlation to the
stalls and reassemble debug activity output.

We didn't debug it too much because there was a mix of 3.7, 3.9, and 4.1
systems and we wanted to standardize on 4.2 before filing any
superfluous bug reports.

If you really want to kick as the dead horse, I can probably roll a 4.2

You best bet is an entry-level bio(4) manageable hardware RAID

pf(4) has nothing to do with isakmpd(8), except as it relates to recent
addition of routing tags.

- PIX/ASA is going to get you a default packet "ASA" forwarding based on
interface weights 
- PIX/ASA is going to guarantee easily setup and functional Hybrid-XAUTH
VPN Road-warrior clients
- PIX has functional object-groups/group-object inheritance
- PIX/ASA has proprietary serial console fail-over (which is marginally
faster than waiting for CARP)
- PIX/ASA has some magical black-box inline transparent protocol
"fixups"
- PIX has a 4 hour SmartNet support contract option
- PIX/ASA has a SNMP MIB tree (Which we are working to catch up on)

I don't know about ASA, but the 5xx PIX doesn't support IPv6


Otherwise they're both software-based stateful IP packet forwarding
engines running on i386 with NAT and IPSec and 802.1q support.

OpenBSD will always scale better because you can run it on the harwdare 
platform of your choice.

If xl0 faces 10.1.1.0 (outside) and bge0 faces your local (inside)
10.1.100.0/24, then your "pass in" statement will create a state

However, it will not automatically create an associated stateful
"outbound" connection out/in your bge0.

This is a common misunderstanding with pf(4) as a transit device.

Default-block in policy routers have to have a default "pass out keep

Try a -current kernel.  If it occurs, obtain a backtrace / kernel core
