>From: Dave Murvin >Your suggestion to punch a hole through the firewall As a point of clarification, punching a hole through the firewall is an option not a suggestion. Anytime you add a hole to your firewall you're adding a hole that can be exploited by someone to gain access to your network, and I don't actually suggest people punch too many of them. However, it is a valid option, so I mentioned it. My first preference would be to bring IIS inside the firewall, and contrary to Gartners clueless opinion[1], I believe IIS _can_ be secured. After that I would consider VPN access and only after VPN was ruled out would punching the hole be considered, and even then only after I had clearly explained the implications to the client several times. -Walden [1] Gets out flame-retardant suit and climbs in. <G> ------------ Walden H Leverich III President Tech Software (516)627-3800 x11 WaldenL@TechSoftInc.com http://www.TechSoftInc.com
