I saw a while back that the majority of people feel that for rock solid stability and production environments, the way to go is with 4.10-Release (I'm still not sure if stable is considered production quality as most things i find say it is still a WIP) I really am interested in the PF port that came over from openbsd. I think this piece of software really offeres a great set of tools especially Carp and pfsync. I notice (at least this is how it appears to me) that it isn't available for the 4.X versions of FreeBSD. My question is this, if i want to use PF in a production environment, should i go with the upcoming (tomorrow?) release of FreeBSD 5.3 or just use OpenBSD, either 3.5 or 3.6 for the firewall? I know this is one of those theoretical/holy war "what's your favorite" type questions, but not intending it to be and hoping the answers aren't geared as such. i just like pf...and also FBSD, with this in mind..i want a machine that is secure and stable as can be, it is after all the access to the internet as well as the defender of all that is good for the company.
