Funny you should ask :) thats the EXACT same thought I had. I'd rather run
the proxies ON the firewall machine. BUT in order to sell them this idea i
have to comply with their corporate IT security dept. specs.
I have little respect for most "security professionals" people anyway, and
to me this seems futile and just extra work, but im sure somewhere someone
can bring ONE valid point for this. It just eludes me right now.
But yes the main reason is too sell them this idea and bag this contract i
have to follow their corporate security plan. (READ pain in the ass).
