hrmmmm.... well... personally i would like a *bsd/Linux independant
firewall config that i can deploy in an organizatin, not that we use
*bsd though. :)

if *bsd can do firewalling, shaping (hierarchal flows, bursting,
queues...etc), logging & reporting... then I agree there is no real
reason not to use the native *bsd solution.

i would again personally like, if i installed a *bsd box to have a more
standard/global solution to use... but thats just my preference.
