the problem w/ most layer 7 firewalls is it can't handle too much traffic. thus 
you want a fast stateful inspection firewall such as a pix 6.x (7.0 does some 
layer 7)  or checkpoint NG-AI (checkpoint has NG-AI & NGX  so some layer 7) 
filtering out most of the drop traffics. 

This leaves the layer 7 firewall behind to only worry about 'accepted' traffic. 
which will be MUCH less than it would of been if it was up front. 

Also another reason to have a 2 firewalls is so u don't have to worry if 1 gets 
rooted, but thats another story.
