>>Another question: How many people here block ping requests at their firewall? Why?

I think the purpose here is basically, if you don't need it, turn it off. Does anyone else need to ping your servers? If not, turn it off. If you need to ping your servers,you can always turn it on temporarily.

I sometimes use webmin. But I turn it on, use it, then turn it off again. Same idea.
