Firewall device recommendation

From: "Gregg Hill" greggmhill at please do not spam me at yahoo dot on 23 Feb 2010 12:21 I have my X550e inside my walk-in closet in the second bedroom, which we turned into an office. Having it right next to me on my rack was making even more crazy than I already am! I agree with you about the renewal price. I try to sell the XTM bundle with the 3-yr pricing, as it is quite a bit cheaper than doing one year, then adding each year. It works nicely for the first three years, then whammo! Gregg -- Gregg's pet peeves: First of all, what does a peeve look like, and why would anyone want one as a pet? Peeve #1: Apostrophes: when in doubt, leave them out! You will be correct more often than not. Its = Belonging to it. For example, "Look at the sky. Its color is blue." It's = It is. For example, "It's hot today." It's = It has. For example, "It's been nice talking to you." Its' = completely incorrect usage. Stop it! Peeve #2: Your vs. You're "Your" means belonging to you, as in, "It's your truck." "You're" means "You are." Example, you're probably about ready to throttle me for this peeve!

However, a Watchguard reseller has responded with pricing for their EDGE products which appear to do the job also. I would be grateful if you could send me any pricing, if Calyptics is good enough for MVP's its good enough for me.

Hi All, Can anybody recommend a firewall/router that has the ability to URL/WEB filter based on active directory (using LDAP ???) to use with my sbs 2008 prem. (I Want to avoid ISA !) I have previously used Draytek 2820n but I believe URL filtering on these cant be done on a IP/user/group, it is a global setting. TIA Gary D
