Hey,

If you do indeed have a small budget you may want to have your firewall
open port 443 only to an Exchange FE (or the BE if money is short) if your
Watchguard allows this on your Optional (DMZ). This does work and
hundreds

Yes it does allow us to define rules to allow incoming traffic (on port 443)
from the internet to either DMZ (optional) or LAN (trusted). I may end up
doing exactly that when (or if) I have ISA in the DMZ.

if not thousands of SMB's are doing it this way. In your scenario you
can't expect to be doing it like Microsoft or other larger companies
would do.

ISA can be desirable, but you could do the same thing with a linux server
configured as a second firewall without the cost. But again time (and
possibly money) will be invested in learning the appliance.


I'd like to avoid adding *nix stuff in the company. I get the feeling that I
might open up a security hole by putting a Linux box in the network. No,
it's not linux problem. It's got something to do with me not knowing
anything about linux ;-) I'd love to learn it but not this time.

Thanks again for the tips. Cheers.

Take care,

Oliver
