Acess with Firebox SSL/VPN

[snootalope]

Hello

Our company is debating on whether a Firebox SSL VPN would work for us.. Is anyone out there using one of these?

Here's the one we're looking at:

http://www.watchguard.com/docs/faq/ssl-core_faq.asp#access

Our goal here is to give anyone access to our internal Citrix servers via nothing more than a web browser. I take it this device can do that beings it has a built in ICA client. But, does that really mean that any client device on the internet doesn't need anything more than a web browser to access our Citrix servers?

Is there a better solution for the goal we're thinking?

Thanks for any advice!

Nobody's used a Firebox here?

We have a couple Firebox's. Currently, we VPN into the Firebox and then run the citrix client. We were thinking about those SSL Firewall's also, but it comes down to cost at this point. We can do the same thing with an extra step with what we have now.
