Re: DMZ and critical data

[Carric Dooley <carric () com2usa com>]

I typically suggest replicating the required data to a back-end data DMZ
host.  If you have to provide access to it, do it in the most secure means
possible.  I could see where this would cause some issues if it has to be 
updated real-time from the client, but if you approach it (as you seem to 
be) with the idea of never allowing untrusted networks connect to trusted 
networks, you are on the right track.
