I would recommend using IPSec if you want to lock down communication between servers and workstations.
Have a look at this: http://hfnetchk.shavlik.com/support/ipsec_scan.pdf - Dan On Tue, 8 Jun 2004 09:17:31 -0400 "Mark Gumennik" <mgumennik () mitre org> wrote:
Dilan, Consider re-thinking your architecture. Opening MS ports on a fw is practically the same as not having a fw If you're paranoid about users pinging your servers and such put a router ACL with restriction of certain ports Keep in mind that this router (or a fw in your case) becomes a backbone (bottleneck) of your LAN Best of all just put Exchange bridgehead behind a fw (DMZ), open port 25 to it and put all AD servers on a regular LANMark G-----Original Message----- From: firewall-wizards-admin () honor icsalabs com [mailto:firewall-wizards-admin () honor icsalabs com] On Behalf Of Dilan Walgampaya Sent: Monday, June 07, 2004 2:24 AM To: firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com Subject: [fw-wiz] Putting MS servers behind firewalls Hi Wizards, I ran in to a problem putting Microsoft Servers behind a firewall.The users has to go through the FW to access the servers. The servers I wanted to put are on an AD domain. There were AD server, File server and an Exchange server. These servers need a large no. of services opened for proper operation. The worse is that exchange server work in a dynamic port setup where the server opens a random port for each different client. MS site has some registry edits that is supposed to correct this dynamic port setup issue. But when I tried these they did not work as per the document describes.Has anybody done this kind of a setup (with other than an ISAserver). I am interested in doing this with Netscreen/Pix and Linux IPTables. Any help is appreciated.Thanks in advance Dilan _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
