----- Original Message -----From: "Brandon Martin" <lists.nanog () monmotha net>As to why people wouldn't put them behind dedicated firewalls, imagine something like a single-server colo scenario. Most such providers don't offer any form of lights-out management aside from maybe remote reboot (power-cycle) nor do they offer any form of protected/secondary network to their customers. So, if you want to save yourself from a trip, youchuck the thing raw on a public IP and hope you configured it right.Well, *I* would firewall eth1 from eth0 and cross-over eth1 to the ILO jack; let the box be the firewall. Sure, it's still as breakable as the box proper, but security-by-obscurity isn't *bad*, it's just *not good enough*.
That's great until you muck up your firewall config or the kernel hangs etc. and you're up for a trip to the data centre.
