   My network security is handled elsewhere.  I too believe in  
layered security, but my desire to use the right tool for the job is  
much stronger.  My mail server is busy serving mail; my network  
security is handled by equipment built and optimized for that job.

   Well...that's the attitude that got us operating systems that need  
a gigabyte of memory just to boot, and processors clocked at 3GHz  
that give me the same useful performance as my 4MHz Z80 twenty years  
ago. ;)  Nothing is free.
