Thanks for the responses. I have a few more questions: Does anyone know of any large firewall sites? Large site would consist of large numbers of users, rules, routes, tunnels, or high bandwidth use. Of those who answered the above question: Are any of those well known companies (i.e. like AOL, IBM, etc... ) who use Iptables? What version of Linux are they using? What are they doing for support? (i.e. Redhat, IBM, 3rd party support, mailing lists, etc) How many physical firewalls are deployed? Is it known if they converted from a commercial firewall? (i.e Checkpoint, NetScreen, Cisco PIX, etc) Thanks in advance, Brett
