Ok, one very good reason to use Splat at least for your enforcement
module is that the OS is already hardened out of the box, whereas if you
use W2K3 for the enforcement module, you will have to do all sorts of
things to adequately harden it.
Plus, like someone else mentioned, if you use W2K3, you would have to
deal with the Windows Updates patching the server all the time, maybe
breaking things, and at the least causing reboots that would interrupt
service through the firewall.
For Management modules, I prefer the Windows platform (XP, W2K, W2K3).

You are joking about using windows 2003 for NGX.
Nothing can beat SPLAT.
One, It comes with the NGX, U don't have to pay for
OS.
Two, It is Linux, Not MS.
