Say you want to make a tight security policy in your firewall: dont let *anything* enter to the windows network but lets some services in, because you have a web, mail, ssh, ftp, etc servers. you configure 2 networks, prefrebly connect them to 2 different interfaces on the firewall. The windows network is totaly secured and is your private LAN. the other network, the one with the open servers, is secured with the firewall but is open to some services. this is your DMZ. -- Unix Administration, | http://www.unixadmin.co.il locally and remotely. | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Planning, installation, | Phone: 972-3-6201373 support & upgrades. | Location: Unrestricted ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
