Hello,
Recently, the subject of using quad ethernet cards on firewalls was brought up
here at work. One person was convinced that this is a Bad Thing(c), because
someone could compromise the card and get access to the entire network.
Everyone else (myself included) felt that he was just being overly paranoid,
and that just keeping the subnets logically seperated would be fine. But I
thought I would ask the people who be most likely to know.
The card in this case was a Sun Quad Fast Ethernet, the firewall itself was
an UltraSPARC with Solaris 2.6 and Checkpoint.
