Re: frontend server in perimiter

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



INET--->PIX---->ISA/SMTP (DMZ)-->PIX----Exchange (Internal)

Use ISA to proxy OWA and RPC/HTTPS
Use SMTP Gateway to offload Mail, could do it on the same box.

Why enable RPC, SMTP, SSL, HTTP, and a bunch onf other ports through your
firewall.

DMZ doesn't mean secure at all....
