RE: Reverse Proxy through FW-1

["Lee (Lockdown) Hughes" <lee () polestar co uk>]

Ohh, that's a really bad Idea if your not using any kind of encrypted
tunnels,
I think a better solution is to use a firewall 1's VPN tunneling...
as netbios authentication (SMB-CHAP) is not really something you
should be opening you firewall up to!
Hope that helps,
Lee
