Hi, While awaiting arrival of hardware to install Gauntlet 6.0 on, I've been perusing the docu. The following come to mind: - Is the GEMS protocol documented? What are its security properties? (GEMS is Gauntlet's centralised firewall management technology.) - Plugs-TCP redirect addressing - This appears to require static routing to the specific redirected address to be propagated upstream (until some NSP/ISP filters it out). Is this how it works? Has any one encountered a real-world scenario where this feature is useful? - This Gauntlet-to-be-installed interposes a WebLogic app server and its clients, which are Java servlets on Internet-facing web servers. Is there a compelling security reason to use the plug proxy instead of packet filtering for the WebLogic t3/t3s protocols? (Doubtless my client's techies will cite performance reasons against the proxy...) TIA for your input. Cheers. -- Ng Pheng Siong <ngps () post1 com> * http://www.post1.com/home/ngps _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () nfr com http://list.nfr.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
