At a quick glance looks ok as long as firewall on public side of web server doesn't allow ftp thru as you say. Effectively for a DMZ you want a firewall in front of and behind the publicly accessible machine.

I did some more searching on the web today, and figured that's pretty well what DMZ means.

Now, I should be able to set up Apache on a machine in the DMZ, serving up web pages to the Internet. And an FTP server on this same machine accessible only from the internal Lan to update those pages. Yes? With only one network card?

So, it looks kinda like this.....

Lan 192.168.0.x (2 workstations, file server, laptop, laser printer)

Freesco bridge eth0 192.168.0.1 eth1 192.168.1.3

DMZ with Alcatel pro at 192.168.1.1 to TPG static IP ADSL
               Apache web server at 192.168.1.2
               FTP server at 192.168.1.2

Sorry if I'm boring people with this, I'm just trying to get it straight in my own head where I'm going with this.

It's effectively - in security speak - a DMZ (demilitarized zone) no?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but having two firewalls is better than one.

One for the DSL modem that is exposed to the internet, and then a
separate firewall for the internal lan that is only exposed to the DSL
firewall is better than firewalling everything from 1 box. It may delay a
compromise and make tracking logs easier.

I'd recomend the DSL-300 from D-Link. There it maintains the authentication and you just plugin a cat5 crossover to your system. On the system it's connected to, you just use dhcp to configure the IP address on it.


What I'm thinking of doing, if it's possible (this was going to

be my next



question) is change the Freesco box to bridge mode, feeding the

alcatel, with



my web server (yet another box) hanging off the alcatel. That

way my Lan is



effectively double-firewalled.

'double-firewalled' is really not going to mean much.


I refuse to say free-->SCO<-- is a good idea.
