  You mean, a poorly configured http daemon on the private network?

  Put it on the DMZ, or on a service network. (A third network that is
behind the firewall, but still can't access the private network. It
might be behind a filtering router, but in front of the firewall, or
it might be on a third interface of a firewall)

  Why not just secure the httpd daemon itself. Wouldn't that be the
best solution? The firewall administrator had better know about any
services being provided on internal machines.
