netfilter vs. hardware-based firewalls

[Jamie Pratt]

Oh great netfilter list-gurus -

My boss is considering hardware-based firewall solutions - Can anyone give
me some ammo to throw back as to why Netfilter would be better (I Have spent
considerable amount of time testing/using netfilter, so I am trying to
convince her to go this route... - she is not a techie so anything plain and
simple works best (I know nothing about hardware firewalls - just
linux/netfilter/ipchains...!)

Thank you
jamie
