Re: AS/400 connected to intranet and internet?

Brad,

The way we set up these types of sites is by throwing in a router (Netopia) in
the equation.

BTW, I do not work for, nor receive consideration from, Farallon, the
manufacturer.

The AS/400, in our case, has IP address 10.x.x.2 with the Telnet server running
and all local WS direct to this.
The router, in our case, has 2 IP address' 10.x.x.1 and our public address.
The router will forward HTTP requests to the AS/400 and blocks all other
ports/protocals.

This also allows the local users to have outbound (web/ftp/etc.) access.

For remote support services (me) the router can be configured to block all 
telnet
attempts, except from specific IP address'.  Since I have a static address this
allows me to get in, but blocks everyone else.

I'm sure that other routers can perform similar functions, but for $700 it works
very well for our needs.
