Why spend $500 bucks on a load shared with an inadequate non-open source firewall that doesn't do what I want and then have to add a firewall anyways ;-) And worse, it works in NAT mode, and probably screws up ipsec, and traffic shaping too... Is that enough reasons to try building a better mousetrap? m/
