DMZ on PIX 506 v. 515 1

[ovs8]

I'm planning to get a PIX box for our 30 users office. We're going to be hosting a web, ftp and database servers for remote offices, users and clients. I'm debating between PIX 506 and 515 boxes. Pix 515 is a bit too much for us at this moment. But I'd like to know if the software based (VLAN) DMZ on PIX506 is less functional than a dedicated port DMZ on PIX515.

Thanks,

The DMZs will function exactly the same. It just takes more setup and a knowledge of VLANs for the 506 solution than with the 515, where you just have to define the new network.
