If I were going to make a recommendation, it would be: Don't do it. You're asking for trouble. There are reasons people don't make their DB boxes available from the internet. A couple better solutions might be: 1. Monitor the box from inside the network it's on, or 2. Have the DB submit passive checks to your monitoring box. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
