Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think MS even has a firewall 
solution.  Last time I checked, they were very carefully avoiding 
any suggestion that Proxy Server might be used as a firewall.  It 
seems they don't want the liability of claiming it has any security.

I am so sorry.  Where I am, the more critical the data, the more 
likely a simple "this is more secure" will settle the debate.

Good luck!
