Whoops. Sorry about that. Here is the link:

I apparently was very brain impaired as I had intended to say:

"...place to put a shim to route traffic through its firewall,...

not "...place to put a re-direct to its firewall,...."

Best,

It looks like a good product, but some of us are constrained by regulation on what can be used.  I have been through most of the site and can't seem to find if the product works with more than Windows clients.  Will it support Mac, Linux, Solaris, etc?

This means lack the money to go through the validation process, lack the confidence they could pass the validation process, or the person who designed their web page did not know the difference. Lacking a validated implementation of AES means they can't be used to protect sensitive federal government data.
