That's definitely a security risk because that system essentially bypasses your firewall altogether. You are right in your suggestion.

I need an opinion on a current design implementation in place. We have an ftp server sitting in our dmz. This box has two nics - one is plugged into the dmz hub and one is plugged into our network. I think this is a security risk and we should just allow internal users access to the box via the firewall by opening the port instead of having dual nics. they do not see a security risk. maybe i am just too new at this and need some education. what is the "best" way to implement thisconfiguration?Thank you Jenn Fountain
