Re: [FW-1] slightly OT - multihoming (?)



Bad idea, this will totally defeat the purpose of the firewall and is
a serious security risk.

A proper solution would be as follows.

1. The server should be hardened according to guidelines available on the
web.
2. Placed on the DMZ network with the firewall controlling and logging
access
between the internal network and the server and the internet and the server.

Regards, Peter.

Subject: [FW-1] slightly OT - multihoming (?)


Hello,

Sorry this is slightly off-topic, but I can't find any appropriate
information on the net.

I need to know how 'safe' mutlihoming a computer is....

Some of my collegues have built a backup computer (veritas software,
routing disabled - I hope!!) that has 2 NICs in it. One with an IP on
our public facing DMZ, one with an IP on our secure internal LAN. I am
strongly against this setup as I feel it compromises the security of our
internal LAN, but I can't find any information that will confirm or deny
this. Could someone please advise me, or know any where that I can find
some specific information on this?

Thanks in advance

rich
