Tony,
     Do you think a tri-homed server with two of the
adapters in the LAT, then using client address sets of the
extranet user(s) for filtering may work? Then it seems you
could lock the users down with enough rules. Either way,
the firewall seems pointless, as there would be so many
possibilities for intrusion. Maybe another proxy only
product. Seems a much better configuration would be a VPN,
don't you agree? Then you could control them exactly like
they are on the internal network (cause they are!), and
control the routing as well. Then strong authentication,
certificates and all kinds of bounderies could be placed
on them.. The routing and remote access snapin for W2K is
strong.. SrChasJC
