Proposed firewall structure We are proposing to augment our firewalling as follows and I would like advice on how to (re)setup our MPD installation. I see two options (a) put MPD on the bastion host and allow the GRE packets through to it via the RED network, and then allow the authenticated TCP packets from it through to the GREEN network. (b) place a GIF tunnel on the bastion host and forward the GRE packets on towarwds the GREEN network that way. I have never used gif yet and am looking to those who have been here before as to the most appropriate method.
