I do to usually, I mean anything corporate wise I put a Checkpoint
firewall in front of, however I'm pretty limited to space in my
Co-location rack.. So the 2u that the server takes up, the 1u for the
switch, and the 1u for the UPS (powerstack 450) pretty much max it.

I'll look at sunscreen again, I can't remember why I frowned on it in the
beginning.

Thanks for all the replies.
