I just had a meeting where I got thrown a curve ball I wasn't expecting. There is talk of wanting to drop in an MS Proxy server onto our network. I started arguing from the seat of my pants about wanting to use ipfw instead. Well, I managed to keep any final decision from being reached, but I was hoping that someone more experienced with the products might be able to offer some comparisons and arguments. That way, I can go back with more hard-core facts and sway the decision. Any pros/cons, case examples, URLs, anything would be greatly appreciated. And if someone feels this should be cross-posted to freebsd-security, feel free to do so (I wasn't sure so I held off). Thanks a bunch. (As luck would have it, I wore my denim shirt with the FreeBSD logo embroidered on it today, so it was clear at the meeting where I stood). ----------------------- Scott I.
