One of my biggest beefs with some people is that they'll stand there
with their fingers in their ears yelling LA LA LA if you point out to

Except that it requires yet another machine to be sold to a customer who
already laid out however many thousands of dollars for a server +
licenses + CALs + applications.
If we already have the firewall, its _very_ hard for me to justify to
the customer another chunk of cash for a second firewall just for the
server.
