Just wondering what the preferred implementation of a local server
should be.  Here's where I'm coming from:

Setting up a WWW server; is there a good reason NOT to run plug-gw to
allow incoming connections for this server to be redirected to a host
on the safe side of the firewall?  I know it doesn't make me terribly
comfy-wumfy ....

The only alternative I see is to drop this server onto the same
segment as the bastion host (in the classic router-bastion-router
config) and make sure that each of the routers and the server can only
converse with the bastion.

Comments?
