PIX firewall or Cisco router for VPN

[Risto, Jonathan]

Good day..

We are considering implementing VPN's between either PIX firewalls or
between the 2600 series routers. I have been informed that there are
problems with the PIX if the link is down for a time, and you need to reset
the ISKMP keys by either a command or a reload on the PIX.

Are there any other gotcha's on the PIX or on implementing the VPN on the
routers that would pose problems?

As well, if you have any URL's or personal experiences with the performance
on the PIX for tunnels doing 3DES and it's scalability for tunnels it would
be greatly appreciated.

thanks
Jonathan
