>From my experience, running a software firewall on a web server, i.e. IIS running CF, has been nothing but a PITA for me. I know others have software firewalls running just fine.
Hardening the webserver, using IPsec, turning off unneeded services, and strong passwords as worked well. BTW... Windows 2003 SP1 RC2 is out. Guess what is featured? Windows Firewall, just like XP. I can see it coming now... -----Original Message----- From: Andy Ousterhout [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 11:53 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Firewall question I think the most secure arrangement is to: 1. Replace router with hardware Firewall Solution (adding VPN at same time ::-)) 2. Go from Firewall solution to NTServer running Firewall software 3. Go from NTServer to rest of internal network. Easy enough. Already shopping for firewall/VPN hardware. Thanks everyone for the education.
