My answer is that it's "software", not hardware.
I'm new to the whole "security" thing, but I've learned that
a hardware appliance is better than software, if only for the fact
that someone is technically already IN the machine when they hit the
firewall software. With a hardware appliance there's a physical
barrier ahead of your machines.
I use the Netscreen products. I think that they're really
good at smacking down bad traffic. Moreover, I'm happy that Netscreen
CREATES IPSec, it doesn't just pass it on.
