I think this frames the "argument in the wrong terms.  I don't think it's a 
question of pro ids or pro firewall.  The question is, where is the 
technology taking us?

Look at IDS and what do you see?  A move toward IPS.  IPS essentially 
consists of blocking known "bad" hosts or networks.  What do firewalls do? 
Block known bad hosts, networks and unwanted traffic.

Seems to me like the two are headed for a marriage.  :-)

As far as bandwidth issues goes, the move to ASICS appears to be obviating 
that objection.  ASICS-based equipment can handle a lot of bandwidth 
without falling over, and when you think about it, why *shouldn't* a 
security device be a purpose-built appliance?
