Re: Best Practices for Internet connection

Actually, partition to partition could be done over the virtual lan.  That 
sucker runs at bus speeds.  Our PC guys were impressed at how fast it sped 
up transfers between two IXS cards.  And we don't slouch on switch 
equipment.  (Although we sometimes make configuration errors.  :-)    ).

And, talk about security, how is an outsider supposed to tap into your 
virtual lan?

And, no hardware cost!

Steve, on #2 - partition to partition is the same as between physically 
separate machines - you'd need network cards in each. I think it'd be best 

not to have the primary partition in the DMZ, and some suggest that the 
primary do only partition management, no production stuff, anyway.

These ideas worth what you've paid for them, probably.   ;-)
