Yes, and there was recently a big web conference on this issue which you can find the link in the archives. It goes over in fair detail the ports and configurations using two tiered firewalls etc etc

Appreciate all suggestions.

 

I know this is discussed before by putting the frontend servers at DMZ it compromised the firewall

security.

 

After months of planning we are migrating to Ex2k soon.  My site the firewall configuration

is different, we have two-level firewalls.  That is from internet it will go thru first level firewall

to the DMZ, then from DMZ go thru second level firewall to the internal network.

 

Question:  With this two-level firewall is is safe to put the frontend servers at the DMZ?

 

Thanks for any help
