I have been watching this thread with some amusement. As a general rule
i never mention my company and products but since it seems to be OK for
this thread I really think you should take a look at the Border Guard
product by Latis. It incorporates snort, has multi-sensor management,
MySQL, automatic rule updates and firewall connection built in. A ton of
other features that make it a no brainer for any snort admin. I would
welcome any feedback from any of the snort fans out there. I follow the
IDS market closely and frankly don't see anything that even comes close.
If after having a look anyone wants to kick the tires yourselves let me
know and I will send you a free trial.

Sorry if I offended anyone with the blatant commercialism but if you
can't beat'em, join'em!
