One LEAF box's protected server would send files to another LEAF box's port forwarded server via SSH. From my reading, I get the feeling that some of the ipchain rules Ray described are covered in the extended scripts available for Eigerstein Beta 2. I am too new in the learning curve to fully describe the configuration yet. The extended scripts are the default scripts in Dachstein. The scripts are available to EB2 as an add on package. Moreover, there are some "hook" files that may be useful in adding the specialized rules Ray talked about, if the extended scripts do not provide support by default.
What I am thinking is that the extended scripts would help with adding a private network DMZ. See your modified diagram below. If your company can spring for the cost of one more network card in your LEAF box, then you would put all your servers on the DMZ. This would also offer your network more protection if one of your servers is compromised. A reverse masquerade rule is set for the servers in the extended scripts. You could block all the services Ray talked about and restrict them to 172.16.8.2. This would restrict the services to your internal servers on the DMZ because of the built in rules. Please see the "ADVANCED FIREWALL CONFIGURATION" section of the network.txt documentation file. Hopefully, I helped and not hindered here.
