["Seth Knox" <seth.knox () sygate com>]

I've listed the two most recent and comprehensive product reviews that
provide detailed information on "Distributed Firewall" solutions,
critical functionality required to successfully deploy these solutions
in enterprise environments, and the test results of the leading
distributed firewall products. I've also included a link to the Sygate
Secure Enterprise datasheet below.

If you are windows you could look at Sygate.  They
have what they call End Point Security.  Very Granular
