Nick, sometimes you're just too narrow-minded :-)

I've had a few cases in the past where the ability of Juniper SSGs to
speak BGP was extremely helpful.  (Clusters distributed to two different
locations in the same AS, the active node announcing its existance via
BGP, and firewalls in front of the nodes - no layer2 path between nodes,
so traditional failover just doesn't work).

BGP is actually fairly well-suited for firewall things - very powerful
policy controls, etc.

It has no pony, so it's not useful.
