The PIX 515 is far superior to netscreen's, full stop(.) - by concurrent
connections or VPN tunnel, or even throughput. I would love to see some
field reports for the netscreen 25 in comparison to the 515. The downside
to the PIX product is the management interface..

The Juniper Netscreen 25 is a fare better choice than any pix product.
The netscreen blows away the pix on any head to head features and
functionality.

Depending on how much flexibility you demand from the firewall a good
choice is a PIX 515. Also a suggestion is to collate your FTP and webserve
into one, preferably a linux box - with the box you gain from the
migration you could build another linux box and stick squid and snort on
that.
Another thing is to take into consideration what switch you are using, a
Catalyst 2950 would be a good buy for you internal lan.

hi list
this is my first posting,
I am in the position to take over as network admin, mostly just for the
security of the machines/network... any ways we have an older firewall
appliance
its a hotbrick, then a router and a switch 24 port, for the network
mostly just a windows machines, a 2k3 server std, for the domain
controller, and two DMZ machines
1 is a web server and the other is a Linux ftp server, and we were
thinking of putting another 2k pro box up in the DMZ as a second web
server, Im trying to get them to let me put an IDS sys into the mix, but
to no avail, I need a some ideas on what you think would be the better
setup for this network, ( its a small only about 15 clients in the office)
thx alot for the help
I know its a noob question....
thx
