Can NAT Do this?
|
I install a lot of Linux systems as part of my business for large companies and up until now I had no answer when they have asked me about accessing a corporate web server BEHIND the firewall from the public Internet.
Some months ago, one of them spent $15,000 for a PIX Firewall from Cisco and moved their Linux system behind it because the PIX system would, (among other things), let remote users into the company NT Intranet server. I have done a little drawing of: I would appreciate any comments on this. If Michael Hasenstein's NAT can let company's do this, it is an extremely important piece of work. Not everyone can afford $15,000 for a PIX Firewall. If I understand some of Dan's writings, he has already gone much farther than what I have shown in the drawing. Bill Harris - bill@tradeweb.net |
