Do you need a firewall built into a router ?
I am about to change my router and am looking at either getting the Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL Router BEFSR41 or an alternative that has a Firewall built into it.
However does the firewall take up more time and is it really needed if you have ZoneAlarm running on all your connected machines ?

Thanks for your views.
