   Thanks for the input Doug and Roy!   
      
   I was referred to the NetScreen devices previous by a friend of mine; they   
   seem to be the right way to go.  My frustration with them was they appeared   
   to use the same licensing nonsense that SonicWall uses.  IMHO, it seems to   
   make the product more expensive than it should be.  The counter-point of   
   that being "you get what you pay for" ;)   
      
   I'll give Juniper a call and see what we can figure out.   
      
   Have a great weekend!
