I want to buy a pix, my network has many Public IPS that i need to map on the firewall to internal web servers. Does the 501 do this the same as the 515? According to Cisco Press pix book, they didnt mention a difference in the way they handle the transactions. I currently have Checkpoint 4 Device that does Proxy-ARP, someone else told me that to do the same think the nokia device is doing that I would need a 515. Can someone shed some light on how this works? I do not have a router, the ISP just gives use the IPs to the internet. Thanks. P.S. I have also read doing proxy-arp is not so secure, because you can spoof the ARP entry. I am not sure what cisco calls the feature of proxy ARP.
 
The PIX supports proxy arp by default, it can be turned off if needed. I'm sure there is no difference between the 501 and the 515 in that respect.
