I personally would not claim to know Cisco PIX in any way shape or form as I have done VERY little work with them. That being said I have done a little bit of work on PIXies (is that how you would say PIX plural?) and found it to be more than a little bit odd. I'm not saying that there is any thing wrong with them, I'm just not very comfortable working with them. IMHO if my money is on the line I'm going ot use a Linux box running IPTables IPRoute2 every time that I can.
