Re: Security Question

Doesn't sp1 put a basic firewall on Windows 2003?

You could always do IPsec on that as a really geeky way to protect a web server?

Hi all,

This is not a SBS question but I find the most knowledgeable admins here
that seem to be very good with finding inexpensive solutions and hope that
someone can point me to the right direction.

We have a client with a 2003 Web Edition server that is hosting multiple
websites with multiple public IP addresses. The box is currently sitting
direct behind a Cisco Router on a T1 without anything in between. We
expressed security concerns to this client but they are reluctant to spend
$2000+ on a hardware firewall.

Does anybody know of a small appliance that would provide some kind of DMZ
protection? The small LinkSys or DLink will not do the job because we need
to port to several public IPs all on port 80 and therefore we can't use port
forwarding.

Thanks,

Claus
