Does anyone have informations about a product from Network
Translations called PIX ?
Roughly it's an IP translator that allows internal hosts to have
arbitrary IP addresses. When an internal client wants to use an external
service, it is assigned a new address from a pool managed by the PIX black
box. The pub said that it could also act as a firewall because nobody can
reach an internal host.
I'm afraid there is a hole in the system (for instance what if
someone catch a connection or guess an address from the pool ???), am I
right ?
Thanks for all comments (perhaps send directly and I summarize)
