Subject: where to put the anon ftp server?

I'm setting up our firewall here.  Currently I've configured a host 
(Solaris 2.3) as a standalone box, which support anon.ftp - when I 
strip it down and rebuild it as a firewall I still want to support
anonymous ftp if possible.  Where should I put it?  Presumably the
firewall machine itself doesn't want to have it on board?  If
I place it on a host on the internal network then doesn't that go
against the firewall idea?  I'd expected to remove all services from
the f/w and use SOCKS instead, which presumably won't permit incoming
(ie FROM the internet) ftp, telnet etc ?

Anyone advise me please?

Thanks,
and cheers for the useful list!

Danny
