	Yes that's the sort of thing, or I saw the reference about pfBlockerNG (which isn't classified a "security" package).  Just wondering about resources, effectiveness, etc.  I've seen some comments about needing the premium feeds or services for either of those or Untangle, for even decent effectiveness, and any paid sort of option seems to start around $300-500 per year.  Obviously you get what you pay for but it's left unclear how "ineffective" the free services are.  Smaller clients aren't going to pay $500 but then again they aren't running web servers in house, and the antivirus we prefer includes IDS.
