Our client has an SBS 2003 with a SQL server installed, 40 users, the
proprietary SQL based application is the core of the business.
A new requirement calls for a report only server, one that will obtain
the data from the SQL server and allow outside customers to pull their
own status reports. The server will run ASP, .NET framework 3.5, all
built with Visual Studio.
I suggested we host it outside on their ISP (he offers dedicated Windows
hosting) rather then inside, their developer insists on inside hosting, i
guess for ease of development. There is a good Cisco perimeter, however
my concern is bandwidth and overall security.
I would like to hear more opinions.


Holz,

Are they running ISA on the SBS?
No

Is there a DMZ setup on the Cisco?
Yes
What is more important to them, their network's integrity or their
developers' illusion of ease?
I think you now the answer :-)
