Hi there Irondog, I believe that zone alarm is suitable for multi ip box. I have used it once before I lost my laptop last year, I followed some easy steps to make run. However, when running Windows from the newly created copy, most of the ZoneAlarm customizations were lost. Among them were whether to show alerts about blocked incoming probes and the list of programs along with all of their permissions. The next day, I used Acronis True Image to backup a Windows partition from one computer and restore it to another, with both machines being the exact same make and model. Again, I lost most of the ZoneAlarm customizations when running Windows from the newly created partition. Again, tha was before I lost my laptop. You see, it has cons and pros.

But using it as firewall is safe.
