Re: [FW1] running webservers behind firewall

[Fredrik Palm <frpa01@handelsbanken.se>]

Hi,

Worth mentioning though is that FW1 used to have performace problems. I 
say 'used to have' because I don't know if anything's been done about it 
in the SP's for version 4.

All the vendors I've spoken to discourages you  to run FW1 on a HPUX
plattform. Even HP themselves delivers FW1 on Sparc platforms because 
of this problem.
