[ale] OT: Firewall purchase

[David Hamm]

Sure, the network be hind the firewall is Frame-Relay, all the remotes come 
back through the firewall for internet access.  I chose ospf since there were 
version conflicts with RIP.  Now that OSPF is up and running I've found I 
like it.  Its faster and more flexible.  

My objective to hand the network off to an admin when he is found.  Having 
OSPF on the firewall will insure every addition gets in the routing table of 
all devices.  Unfortunately I can't find OSPF support on a firewall and may 
have to re-broadcast routes in RipV2 from the Cisco router and the layer 3 
switch on the backbone.  Which is less attractive because if I can find OSPF 
support on a firewall all the routers will have basically the same config 
reducing the opportunity for error.
