I have my own personal opinions regarding multi-vendor solutions in a
complex enterprise environment that I'd prefer not to argue on this
particular list (let's just say that I believe in using the right tool
for
the job), but in my experience there is no combination of vendor
products
that can provide a 'bulletproof' security solution.  Your point, however
is
well taken.  

Thank you for your time and attention,
