Hello Kristyn! I don't know Indy's, so I'm not sure ... > Currently, I've got a firewall running on an Indy. > It's using the internet firewall toolkit. ... if you are talking about the TIS firewall toolkit or any vendor specific software. > machine with a FreeBSD system. Should I keep that toolkit, or should I use > the ipfw program that comes with 2.1? But if your are taking about the TIS package, you should use _both_. IPFW is a packet filter, the TIS package contains application level filters and proxies. Use the IPFW to stop source routed IP and all the stuff you can easily set into rules. Authentication schemes like S/key, X gateways with confirmation or anti-java(script) filters are the task of the TIS toolkits.
