I'm a newbie to the PIX line. I have some questions that I hope you
guys can assist me with.

Two Questions:

1) What is the best/easiest way to document a current policy?
Spreadsheet?? I would like to know what ports (services) are open
and to where? Also duplicates, etc.? Would it be best just to put it
in a spreadsheet? Is there a tool for this?

2) Once an audit/analysis has been made, what is a good way to make
the new changes, if there are many? Would it best just to download
the config and modify it offline?

3) What is the method to see what rules are being hit the most so I
can rearrange the rules in the most logical, efficient order?

4) Is there standard Analysis checklist to go by when reviewing a
PIX firewall policy?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thank you,
