I hadn't really thought of the packet-filtering router as a firewall, but I 
suppose it does fit the definition.  I always took it as a given that 
everone had some level of ACLs on their routers, and thus didn't include it 
as a "firewall" in the diagram.  I would guess the original poster of the 
"two firewalls is better; a single one is a poor design" message was 
probably thinking the same thing.  If not, well, I guess we're all in 
agreement then, except for "Mr quad firewalls are cool" to whom I just 
responded. ;)
