I just had a meeting where I got thrown a curve ball I wasn't 
expecting.  There is talk of wanting to drop in an MS Proxy server onto our 
network.  I started arguing from the seat of my pants about wanting to use 
ipfw instead.  Well, I managed to keep any final decision from being 
reached, but I was hoping that someone more experienced with the products 
might be able to offer some comparisons and arguments.  That way, I can go 
back with more hard-core facts and sway the decision.

Any pros/cons, case examples, URLs, anything would be greatly 
appreciated.  And if someone feels this should be cross-posted to 
freebsd-security, feel free to do so (I wasn't sure so I held off).  Thanks 
a bunch.

(As luck would have it, I wore my denim shirt with the FreeBSD logo 
embroidered on it today, so it was clear at the meeting where I stood).
