Re: [FW1] basic security question- a little off topic



Donna,

If your talking about internal default routes, I
personally don't see the issue. I would suggest
that you use an internal proxy and have your
internal users talk to it. This can allow you to
have a proxy and caching system to assist
in security and bandwidth usage.

In addition, by not having specific routes on
each of your internal systems, you can make
changes a little more easier, with having to
make changes on all the clients. Your rulebase
would potentially be smaller and hopefully more
manageable.
