[AusNOG] Cisco ASA 5505 licensing?

Having been burnt myself, don't forget the 5505 is the only box that
enforces a limit of 50 internal devices. So a company of 20 people will
easily exhaust that when everyone has a PC, iPad, iPhone etc.

Definitely look at the 5510 if the budget allows.

Cheers,
Glenn.
