I've looked for reasons to use MIRROR and never found a legitimate one ;)

I do sometimes use other unusual features though.  At home I'm currently 
marking packets to route them over a VPN to the US so I can view a site 
that may or may not have hulu in the name.  Hmm the talk should include an 
example of this sort of configuration.

You're right though that 99% of the time everyone seems to use the same 
old targets and capabilities for the firewall.

I make heavy use of chains to simplify the rulesets and improve efficiency 
and I'll cover this.

Cheers,

Rob
