Having a firewall(s) in front of your database server regardless of the type is pretty much common sense, right? Its bad enough to be stuck having to run/support IIS and MSSQL in any scenario, but letting MSSQL talk to the world just seems like asking for even more trouble.I agree absolutely. This is just bad practice and the network admins here need to re-think their security architecture.
I've not looked at any great detail into the exact sources but of the few I looked at earlier I was surprised to find them on ADSL .. these may be corporate networks this is the bit I dont know but some of them seemed to be residential, weird! Steve
