RE: [FW1] DMZ advantages



Basically, if anybody can exploit a host in your DMZ they can now have
access to shares in your internal networks over the NBT connection you've
got between your DMZ and your internal networks.  As far as the SMTP is
concerned, if you want to receive email from external you have to allow some
form of mail protocol in either directly or indirectly thru a dmz connection
to the inside and I, certainly, much prefer the idea of the dmz being the
drop-off point for external email first then directly routing to the inside.

Just my $.02.

In practise, What risk do you see associated with allowing NBT(join domain)
or 
smtp for that matter between your protected internal network and the
protected 
DMZ, considering that NBT is not routable over the net and the second rule
is 
explicit in allowing only the protected DMZ to the smtp server. 

I know its not ideal security wise, but how does one convince managers about

the risk involved.
