Well all, I have one more project I am looking for recommendations for. I need a firewall, priced up to $3500 which will do the following:
1. Accept two incoming connections (do not need to be physical, I can use a hub).
2. Can connect each connection to the respective internal network.
3. VPN Capable.
4. 5.5 mbps 3DES Throughput minimum.
5. Does not need outbound traffic load balancing. Primary worry is inbound.
Basically, I have three networks and several users outside of my primary location (outside = 2/27 [30u], 3/27 [20u], 4/27 [15u] & users; inside = 1/27 [30u] & 5/27 [30u]). Each outside connection has a VPN tunnel to each of the inside connections. The outside units each have a SonicWALL SOHO3. Inside we have two SOHO3s. I primarily want to have better throughput, records and management. The system rarely drops bellow 3.5 mbps needed throughput.
I was told using a hub and a Cisco PIX-515E-R would work. I was also to Checkpoint would require an unlimited IP license to do this, pricing it well out of reach. Are there any other options?
Thanks all!
