I am at present configuring a firewall using Firewall-1 software.
My intentions were to set up something on the following lines
_______
| ftp & |
| http |
| server|
___________ |_______|
|firewall-1 | | ___________
|gateway | | |packet |
internet---|with |-----|--------|filtering |-----Internal network
|address | |router |
|translation| |__________|
|___________|
whereas SUN seems to recommend the following scenario
--------
| ftp & |
| http |
| server |
|________|
--------- |
|packet | ----|-----
internet---|filtering|------|firewall-1|-----Internal network
|router | |gateway |
|_________| |__________|
which would require the purchase of a third network card for the gateway
machine.
I would be grateful for your comments on these two configurations.
