No, the great catch here is that VSX offers you tools to manage up to 250 of these virtual monsters in a centralized fashion. You can also give control of these firewalls to your customers. You can put lots of OpenBSD guests on a host, but there's no way you will be happy when you are seriously thinking about deploying a VSX. Franco
