I had previously asked about firewall hardware and did get some good feedback. Now ... part two. I need some recommendations about Linux based software for scanning outgoing emails, http activity, etc. ... this would be behind the firewall and before everything jumps into a switch. SO ... all traffic would go through this. I am envisioning a simple box ... with a stripped down version of linux running ... where by the log files, etc. could ideally be accessed via a web browser. Anyone tried this or done it before? Thanks in advance.
