I have two fears, first that the barracudanetworks folks are selling too
many units and the support load had gotten out of control (they are not
near as responsive as they were a few months ago).

Second fear is that as they get more popular, the spammers are going to
specifically target these boxes. I've already seen several ways to really
screw them up. The day that begins is the day these boxes start becoming
less effective.

Oh, and I met someone online who has 3 of the 600 boxes with 30,000 domains
on them. (10K domains per box). Sound like fun?
