RE: snort question

I prefer to set mine up in between my firewall and my LAN.  This way you
are gaining information on only traffic that has made it through the
filtering.  No sense gathering information on attacks that your firewall
can stop.

You are going to get a lot of answers.  

I like an inline tap between the switch an the router.  In my opinion
you see the most amount of relevant data that way.  You will also want
to make sure that you tune your rules well to et rid of noise that makes
no difference to you or you will get tired of looking a the IDS real
fast.

Curious on where snort would do its job better.


t1 - switch - web server
              dns server
               firewall - LAN

should i put snort on a box that has its own IP or on my LAN behind the 
firewall?

thanks!
