RE: Remote access between firewalls

["Burns, Bryan" <Bryan_Burns@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm also looking at doing an SSL connection through the PIX to a webpage that a 
user signs on to.  From there, they'll just use an emulator like Mochasoft.  
That's what our consultant recommended.  We'll have to upgrade the PIX to 7.1 
though.
Any thoughts on this one?
Thanks,
Bryan

With Cisco, the PIX can be set for Nat Traversal, and then the client 
can be installed and run from behind almost any firewall and connect 
through your PIX, into your 400 for that one client. We have done this 
without any changes in the 'other' firewalls and IIRC you only have to 
let port 4100 go outbound from the remotes... and that's not usually 
blocked.
