No, this server is sitting totally on it's own connected to the T1. No other network or computer is connected. We want to prevent DoS attacks and control what ports are open.
 
Is this server sitting in the LAN???
It shouldn't be doing anything but acting as a webserver and not interacting/connected with the LAN

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
