This was extremely helpful. What about the need to protect the database from intrusion? Since there is only one hop from the webserver to the database server (2 tiers). At my job, the school of thought is that the middle tier is the only server that can access the database (ip restriction) which is exposed through webservices.That way there are 3 physical tiers (web, app code, data). I am trying to apply the same concepts using Django framework.
