Re:      Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form S-1

Gentleman:

This opinion is submitted pursuant to applicable rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission with respect to the registration by Nexland, Inc. (the
"Company") of an aggregate of 3,602,193 shares of common stock $0.0001 par value
(the "Common Stock") pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1.

In my capacity as securities counsel to Nexland, I have examined the original,
certified, conformed, or other copies of Nexland's Certificate of Incorporation,
Bylaws and other corporate minutes provided to me by Nexland. In all such
examinations, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on original
documents, and the conformity to originals or certified documents of all copies
submitted to me as conformed, Photostat or other copies. In passing upon certain
corporate records and documents of Nexland, I have necessarily assumed the
correctness and completeness of the statements made or included therein by
Nexland, and I express no opinion thereon. Based upon and in reliance of the
foregoing, I am of the opinion that the Common Stock has been and upon exercise
of the warrants will be upon issuance, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable. I hereby consent to the use of this opinion in the Registration
Statement on Form S-1 to be filed with the Commission.

                                                /s/ Allan M. Lerner
                                                -----------------------------
