Doesn't appear to be that difficult.  Seems like you would have a firewall
with 3 nics, external/internal/dmz.  Then another firewall with 2 nics for
external/internal.  I've seen this done in a crossbeam box where you have
multiple firewalls inside their appliances.  Or you could utilize 2 splat
boxes to do it.

However, depends on your security, but I would think that a splat box with 3
nics would work just fine.  External/internal/dmz and you can lock down what
each device in the dmz can do, http/ftp/ssh, etc.  Or if you wish to protect
the DMZ servers from each other, you could utilize vlans to separate them
into virtual dmz networks, not quite as secure as physically separating the
devices, but would save you having to run two separate firewalls.

Subject: Re: [FW-1] Firewall-1 Questions

Thanks for the reply.. Is it really that difficult? I would have thought
this type of configuration would be fairly simple.. Is there any
documentation that would help someone using it for the first time? Also,
what's the cost for the software approximately and what H/W configuration
does it normally run on or run the best on?
 
Thanks again

yes you should have at least two nics.

But you really should find someone who knows how to
setup the product properly.
