[c-nsp] OT: ASA rant was : RE: NAT/PAT appliance recommendations

[Michael Balasko]

I second the ASA's to do this. 


Although I'd disagree with the ASA's having evolved from the pix's. All
Cisco has appeared to do is install more bugs and try to out-do IOS and
Windows ME for the buggiest OS's ever. That being said I am warming up
to 7.2 train.  

One of my new favorite bugs- Editing an Object Group causes the ASA to
crash. This seems to be something that should have been vetted.

That being said things are infinitely more complicated than they were
back in the oh-how-I-miss-my-Pix-520 days.

coincidently, we just did this for our wifi clients too; using an 
asa5550 to do the nat; works pretty decent; the asa evolved from the pix

which was in its early days a nat appliance:
