Sorry to bother you all but having read the archives and the ORA
firewall book, I'm still pretty clueless.
Trying to implement a firewall/network :
|<--> Server Farm A
|
|<--> Server Farm B
[INet]<--> Router <--> Firewall |
|<--> FBSD Proxy <-- LAN
|
|<--> free
The firewall is on a Sun box with a quad-NIC using commercial
firewall software. The LAN has over 100 PCs.
Does it make sense to use a FreeBSD box as I have shown
above to act as a Proxy (and also router) between the LAN
and the Firewall ? Does this network layout make sense or
have I lost the plot ? (not that I really understood it in
the first place).
To set up the FreeBSD proxy above, will it really require
static routes for all the PCs between the LAN and the Firewall ?
Most sincere thanks in advance from a networking neophyte,
chas
