How good are they in that capacity? We're considering exactly that,
for hundreds of virtual systems with a low aggregate bandwidth.

Netscreen doesn't let you have all that many virtual systems per box,
and the price is actually higher per virtual system than simply giving
each customer an SSG-5. Of course a rack full of SSG-5's would look a
bit silly, and the cabling wouldn't be much fun...
