    That is not good at all, when you think how much over the odds these people have paid for their sonicwall stuff as well!

    Which just shows that security is not a 'fit and forget' technical solution, and that you shouldn't rely on a single solutuion - defence in depth is important.

    Hmm. Firewalls that keep phoning home to check for licensing? Then fails when there is a glitch in the licensing server?
    Never ever going to recommend anyone ever gets one of those!

    On a firewall related note, just raised a PO for a Pair of Cisco ASA 5510's

    Although SonicWall had this glitch I think there were very pro-active in letting their partners and other end users know about it.

    Was looking into getting a SonicWall product to test (assuming they have NFR units) - but never got round to it. Might put that off for another wee while :-)
