My two cents on the subject topic: I personally trust the security of firewalls I build from the ground up using strictly open source components, and do not trust the security of proprietary code. I've made peace with management holding the diametrically opposite view by putting something mostly harmless, like a PIX, in series with the firewall I trust, using it in the place where I'd normally be putting the screening router. -Bennett
