RE: Firewall in AS400

Ken,

Loading Linux is a good alternative.  The key would be to not involve
your production system in providing the firewall services.  Some might
even question having your firewall in an LPAR, the isolation between the
firewall and your production systems is that important.

Having an OS/400-based firewall solution just doesn't seem feasible.  I
can't imagine buying an iSeries just to use it as a firewall.  It would
be a high expense for a platform which can currently run very well on
commodity hardware.

Regards,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
