SQL Cluster and Firewall

Hi,

We need to implement a solution in which two Windows 2003/ SQL Servers 2000
based servers being located behind firewalls in two different locations,
together form SAN attached geo-cluster systems. SQL Server ports will be
opened on firewall to DMZ and accessible by Web servers located in DMZ.

There are currently many Active/ Passive SQL Clusters in our LAN which are
geo-cluster and SAN attached. We have infrastructure in place to have 2
redundant public NICs and 2 redundant private non-routable NICs for
heartbeat.

Do we need to open special port(s) opened for Windows/ SQL clustering on the
firewall for this scenario to work properly? Please note heartbeat
connection will not use our internal network.

Thanks
Alex
