AW: [FW1] Firewall names



Title: AW: [FW1] Firewall names

better is no DNS entry for the fw host and a fake DNS entry naming a honeypot host ;-)

    Betreff:        Re: [FW1] Firewall names


    There was a thread on naming firewalls "firewall1", specifically, a few
    months back.  Basically, Check Point has a problem handling firewalls named
    "firewall1" in some cases.  So I'd definitely steer clear of doing that (if
    not for the obvious security implications, for the "bug" factor).  HTH
