I am looking at putting several servers in a rack in a datacenter. I
obviously want some sort of firewall solution, and I am wondering what
opinions some of you might have about the topic. I will need to serve out
Exchange services through the firewall, so I would either have to publish
the Exchange server in ISA or open up access to it in some sort of DMZ with
a hardware firewall. What experiences/suggestions do you have about one
versus the other?

Thanks,
Jacob

They are the same thing, they just look physically different. Hardware
firewalls run on software (some even use Harddrives) and software firewalls
run on hardware. If you really want to see something interesting, go to:

There are 8 companies that produce "hardware firewalls" that run on
Server2003/ISA2004.
