RE: IP filtering

Steve,

You'd have to check with your networking guys but it shouldn't be a problem
for your inhouse people to access the DMZ but not the Internet itself.

Also, as someone else mentioned.  I don't think you really want IP
forwarding, more like a proxy server.  That being the case, you wouldn't
need to use the 170 at all.  In fact, I'm not sure the iSeries has a proxy
available or not.  I assume you could get one in PASE if nothing else.
