Internet router
When installing a new site for example is it possible to connect the ISP connection directly to a firewall, ie Cisco PIX? Why is an internet facing router usually required? Is this simply best practice or is there a deeper more technical reason? Please help.- miked554

Internet Router and Firewall
When installing for example a new site, why is it necessary to have an internet facing router? Why can you not connect the ISP connection directly to the Firewall for example? Is it simply best practice or is there a fundamental reason? Thanks.
