RE: Host based IP ACL like TCPWrapper or IP_Filter, but for NT?

Interix (was OpenNT) runs on top of the NT Kernel doing POSIX Unix and
has recently ported TCP Wrappers, inetd, sendmail, telnetd, ftpd,
syslogd, and a variety of other apps.  This gives you the ability to
do some of your filtering on the Unix side of your NT Server if you
want.

Does anyone have ideas as to a feasible solution for doing IP ACL
restrictions on a DMZ host?  Or does this seem excessive considering
2-factor authentication is to be used.

details as follows:

<snip a good explanaition of the situation>

NT has no direct IP_Filter equivalent, although there is at least one
option
of which I am aware.


---------------------------------------------




NT has the ability to restrict ports that can be used by machine in
Control
Panel/Networks/Protocols/Advanced settings.

As well, have you looked at things like the ConSeal firewall
(http://www.signal.com) whcih fit between the Ethernet layer and
TCP/IP stack to
enforce a security policy?
THis would seem like the closest to TCPWrappers for NT and it even
validates
UDP/ICMP as well.
