Hi,

I am sorry to say that we are unable to do this. If the firewall appliance
is a firewall between two internal subnets, I suggest you open the
necessary ports listed in this Knowledge Base article:

179442 How to Configure a Firewall for Domains and Trusts
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=179442

If the firewall appliance is between the internal network and the external,
we need to disable the 389 port too. Instead, create a VPN connection
between these DCs. Or external clients can use port 389 to keep on
attacking the server.

For your reference: 277650 How to Determine the Site in Which a Domain
Controller Is Located -- http://support.microsoft.com/?id=277650

60Hi,
60
60we would like to have help with the following problem.
60
60senario:
60
60One stand alone Windows 2000 server (an e-Gap Remote
60Access Appliance) that shall communicate with two
60specified AD servers (Windows 2003) with Global
60Directory. They are part of site 1 as is the subnet of
60the Windows 2000 server.
60
60Information flow:
60
60Win2k server sends DNS and LDAP queries to the AD servers
60to authenticate user credentials.It also sends LDAP
60queries to check for user rights (check if user is in a
60specific group).
60
60A firewall is located between the Win2k server and the AD
60servers. It only allows traffic on DNS UDP port 53 and
60LDAP UDP/TCP port 389.
60
60Problem:
60
60Sometimes the Win2k server tries to send LDAP queries to
60other AD servers in the same target domain. This is
60stopped by the firewall and causes time out situations in
60the e-Gap firewall Appliance application. We also see
60that the Win2k server tries to send Kerberos packets to
60the AD server just before it starts sending queries to
60the other AD servers. The Kerberos packets are stopped by
60the firewall.
60
60Question:
60
60How do we limit the Win2k server to only send it's
60queries to the two AD servers at site 1, and not any
60others.
60
60Best Regards
60
