1 - As long as your IOS image supports the IPSec/IDS/Firewall feature set,
then you're cool to go
2 - You'll be tested on the IDS hardware as well, and the configuration is
completely different, so you'll need both
3 - It's on the lab. 3005 is cheapest
4 - All PIXen run the same images, so commands will be the same, you may
just be limited by interfaces or number of users (not a real problem for
lab)
5 - After July 1, I believe the web site says 6.3(3)
6 - Those aren't listed on the blueprint

If you have the $$$ to purchase all that stuff, knock yourself out, it's not
a bad investment. However, renting rack time is usually a more economical
way of doing things to study certain things (IDS/VPN Concentrator). They're
limited parts of the lab, and therefore may not be worth the money if you
are not independently wealthy. :)

A number of rack rental places hav security gear as well, sometimes in
limited sets.
