I´m evaluating a remote access scenario, where employees access our network through a communication server:

               ___________                                                                 ______Unix Work Station with TACACS+
                     Internal    !                                                                !
                     Network   !-------- Router -------- Firewall -1 ---------!
               ------------------!                                                               !---------- Comm. Server / Modem pool

	And I have some doubts. Can anyone comment on them?
	I wonder if it is really necessary to have TACACS as an authentication server; isn´t it enough to have Fwall-1 
authenticate the users?
	If TACACS is of any help in this scenario, is there any reason not to put it in the same Work Station as Fwall-1?
	Thanks in advance,
			Helio.
