I have installed a pix 515 and would like to implement a second firewall as this is a high security site. I like smoothwall (gpl 0.99) a lot, (especially because it has snort built in) but I don't have an idea on how to implement it into the existing setup as I am already using nat on the outside interface on the pix firewall. Smoothwall runs address translation between it's own interfaces (ie from green to red). Can anyone please assist? I would ultimately like to place smoothwall between the internet router and the pix. Can anyone advise me on how to go about doing this?
 
What does your topology look like? Do you have a diagram we can look at? Maybe someone can make a recommendation after we see what you are doing.

I have done some intense investigation and I believe that having two firewalls back to back would not be practical. Thanks for your interest Reason1000.
