[j-nsp] Using SRX's for BGP and Firewalling

[Maqbool Hashim]

Hi,

I'm looking at doing a multihomed BGP setup using two upstream Internet providers.  We are obtaining PI space and would like to announce our PI space via BGP to our upstreams.    I'm looking at using one of the SRX range from Juniper to handle the BGP and firewalling requirement for us.  We don't need a full routing table.  Is it a realistic proposal to do the BGP and firewalling on one device (an SRX) ?  Or am I creating a rod for my own back by not using separate BGP routers and using separate devices to do the firewalling for me.  I'd be interested in hearing if other people are using the SRX's in a similar way.

Maq
