Re: [FW1] WINDOWS 2000

["Carl E. Mankinen" <bandit@FW1-NOSPAMzcore.net>]

A server is licensed by seats/users and that is for users that access FILE SHARES via NETBIOS on that server
or that AUTHENTICATE against the domain/local SAM on that server.  

A firewall enforcement server should do neither of these, so its not a "server" in Microsoft sense.
Do you license your IIS server for 50 bazillion users because they all have connected and retrieved a page?
