RE: Mac X-Server Security Questions...

Great stuff, Javier, thank you.  More info to read!!!

I probably need to watch my wording more carefully here.  First the
workstation vs server thing, now the "hardware vs software firewall"
thing.  You're absolutely correct, it's all software; the idea behind my
remark was simply that a firewall on the host is not going to be as
robust.  Sadly we know that bloody well everything has vulnerabilities.

No question a dual border DMZ is a great idea, though probably overkill
for some.

Sorry about the apparent bashing but I'm really frustrated with vendors
this week, and the last thing I needed to hear is that I can't be helped
because something's not supported.
