Actually neither is the "Best Practices" method.



Your purchase of Citrix Metaframe entitles you to install Citrix Secure
Gateway (or now known as Citrix Web Interface).



The layout should look like the following diagram

Subject: [SECURITY] Metaframe firewall location



Which is a more secure scenario?



Installing a Metaframe server (joined to a windows domain) using SSL
accessible to the public on the DMZ interface of a firewall, while allowing
access from the metaframe server to the windows domain machines on your
internal network through the firewall?



Or



Leaving the Metaframe machine with an SSL connection open to the public
inside your administrative network?
