I am tryig to figure out what would be the best gateway/firewall to host website. As i am a developer not sys admin can't decide on which way to go. Could you please suggest what would be the best?
Below are some options i have considered.
1> Microsoft TMG
+All in one, VPN, gateway, firewall, IPS
+Hardware scalability
+Using this for my corp servers.
?Not sure good option for website firewall, haven't seen any one using it.
2> Cisco
+++
-Costly
3> F5
+Great for load balancing
?Looks more for load balancing and ssl offloading but not sure how good of IPS if has any
?Still would require other gateway to vpn etc.

My experience is almost totally opposite to Cian's:
The one thing I agree with is that PIX boxes are highly priced and extremely complex.
