Can anyone recommend an article that describes the ideal network architecture (from a security perspective) for public-facing web services? For example, do you put the web servers behind the primary firewall and the database servers behind another one with port 1433 open to the web servers?

Thanks.

What you mention is named a DMZ (demilitarized zone), you can find lots of documentation online about this:

It's a nice way to secure your data, because it's relatively easy to setup. Other system configurations are also possible, thanks to the versatility of web services (which use the port 80 and a text based protocol to communicate).

HTH,
Laurent
