430 downloads on the Getting the most out of ORF guide till 6:00AM. Not that I expected more, but this is far below the total number of clients the guide was sent to. And then we have not counted those who opened it multiple times or used a download manager (with multiple download threads) to download the PDF.

Configuration guides might not be the best way to get client config right, but due to complexity of configuring ORF, this appears to be the only reasonable way. Everything else that I can think of is much more limited, including wizards or downloadable configs. These cannot get the DNS, the IHL or the filtering point selection right, although these are the major reasons for lower ORF performance, by my experience.

    Make that 431. Finally looke at it and it was very useful for me. I changed my filtering points based on that document. Thanks!
