Convince me. http://www.ISAserver.org Greetings, Would anyone be so kind as to attempt to convince me that I *need* two network cards in my ISA 2004 firewall over here? (now please note that I did not design this network.) The configuration is made like this. The servers and the local LAN share one subnet (192.168.10.0/24) and are all behind a netscreen firewall. Somewhere among the servers is a single nic ISA 2004 server with a gateway (the netscreen). The client workstations use the Firewall client to connect to the internet, for they have no gateway, and even if they did, the netscreen is configure to only NAT out specific IPs. So far, it works. With a few hitches, but it works. We can add filtering rules for the client workstations, and restrict what we want. Why should I add another card and redesign part of the network that is already working? (I honestly did not do such a thing. I'd redesign it, but my client is not necessarily happy about this, and I need arguments.) -- Alexandre Gauthier Analyste Réseau/Network Analyst Québec Loisirs ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
