Hello...
I'm looking at having to upgrade our existing PIX firewalls and
LocalDirectors this year. ( along with going from FastEthernet to
GigEthernet). Looking at our usage and the expected specs from the
Cisco web site, I am no where near the specs but CPU load suggests I am
not far from maxing them both out.
Does anyone have any real world stats on where the PIX firewalls and
LocalDirector's preformance starts to degrade with respect to new
connections/sec? Being a web content provider ( vs. downloading large
files), new connection performace is critical. e.g. lots of tear
up/downs for images, etc.

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense. I tried it. Only tinfoil works.
