RE: One computer two different networks

  Install a VPN server that accepts clients from the secured network,
and allows them to the outside.  Make sure "split tunnelling" is disabled.
So when a client machine fires up the VPN client software and connects
to the Internet, they can no longer talk to resources on the secure 
network until they drop it again.

Subject: One computer two different networks

Hi all,

(First of all I want to apologise if I am misplacing this 
question, if so I'd appreciate if anyone could point me to 
the right direction)

So here is the situation:

We have about 250 computers that are isolated in a 
high-security network, we want to give internet access to 
those computer users without compromising the secured 
network...of course our first thought is to buy 250 computers 
so the users can switch between computers (one for the secure 
network, one for internet)... but that might not be most 
practical solution...

So, I've been looking around and I've found a product called 
DATAGATE, from Tenix which works as a "Data Diode"... looks 
interesting... but I'd like to have a second opinion...

Does anyone know about other products or techniques on how to 
accomplish this??

thanks!
