Thank you sir.  I read your presentation quite some time ago, probably one of the first times you posted to the list.  
It has definitely informed many of my design processes; particularly with regard to server publishing, and been a major 
part of my supporting documentation in arguments with others at my organization over the last few years.

Of course, these particular ASA implementations are for law enforcement applications, so we are mandated to implement 
in ways that auditors from the state and federal agencies approve of.

However, this makes me consider the need to more aggressively ACL inbound traffic at the router level before these 
particular firewalls, which I can do, and may help mitigate such events, so thank you for the reminder!
