Re: Defense in Depth

["Gautam R. Singh" <gautam.singh () gmail com>]

Hi Ronish,

Why dont u host webservers between the two firewalls instead of 
putting it in 2nd firewalls dmz? that should provide you with more
flexiblility? as when you add new servers you will have to configure 1
firewall & thus the configurations would be simplified.

The security depends on how "well you configure" the firewalls to
protect your network.

Gautam
