A. Yes. There are however a couple of software defects you should be aware of. Please check CSCsd64103 – make sure your software versions include a fix for those DDTS. A short white paper shows a configuration to preserve end-to-end QoS. Note that unlike the PIX or AA, the FWSM does not ship with any user-configurable QoS/queing mechanisms.
