Our organization is about to deploy a dial-up RAS server. We have heard
noises that the location of the RAS server can pose subtle issues with
regard to security and functionality. 

Is there a good rule of thumb for situating the RAS server? It seems to me
that the following would be true:

1.      Inside: Easy to deploy but a security liability.
2.      DMZ: Best position for security, but requires some one-time
firewalls configuration.
3.      Outside: Bad from all perspectives.

However, maybe the answer is no so obvious. Hence this question.
