Hi'
I must say that security must build with as many obstacles on the path of an
attacker to your net.
Also there is the concept "security by obscurity".

Don't be silly. As terry wrote, security by obscurity is no security at all.

And, guys, You can kill me, but I really think easy management and
logical structure is more valuable than "securing" firewall by
"hiding" it, or other obscurity stuff.. You want to hide fw? Do it
full transparent, You know, accept&forward without changing TTL or
silently DROP. And do not give him an external IP.

And, damn, You are talking about such a silly things.. You all should
find some real problems.
