With the ever increasing predictability, this topic came up here.  We are
finally upgrading our external website.  One of the features, of course,
will be an employment section listing currently available positions.

We already have an internal application that allows our HR department to
list positions as the become available on out intranet.  Ideally, we would
use this same data on the external site.  But they are very, Very, VERY
protective of our LAN and Databases.  Something to do with us having lots of
very personal medical information on these computers about lots of people.
So they are very cautious about opening holes in our protective shielding.

Also, thanks to his over qualifications our IT/Network manager recently
moved onto greener pastures and has not yet been replaced.

I would appreciate any good overview information understandable to myself, a
simple ColdFusion developer, and other even less technically minded types on
how one sets up these zones and the connections between them.  Their
vulnerabilities, safety, concerns, ect.

Thank You

1433 for SQL Server, but I was actually referring to which port the Web
Server to App Server connection through the firewall would be (I've already
got the Web/App Server connected to the SQL Server through the firewall part
working).

will
