Holy cow! Someone mentioned security while talking about firewalls! I'm partial to Symantec/Raptor..application proxy works and unless you're feeding a huge pipe, speed isn't an issue. I've seen Raptor spike things that would sail through a circuit/packet filter type firewall and...isn't that what a firewall is supposed to do? In all fairness....Checkpoint does say that it's NG Feature Pack 3 will include some http application level inspection.

Uh, what about security? The Symantec product is a "hybrid" firewall (i.e. uses proxies) while the others are packet filters. IMHO, that adds security value.
