Damien,

        What do You mean with this statement? What about iptables' stateful inspection isn't authentic? I'm not trying to provoke You -- i truly don't understand.

        I'm not sure i agree with the statement that it has had a number of bugs in its brief life. *This is of course a matter of opinion* (and i'm not begging for flames about my opinion), but i think that 6 bugs in 20 months isn't all that terrible, and some of them are piddling (e.g. that ICMP DNAT thing -- it's for nothing more than information gathering, and why would anyone let ICMP through their firewall anyway?)

> IPtables is faster, but isn't as secure -it doesn't do true stateful
