Hello
Typical scenario is this:
A LAN, connected to the internett through a leased line, Firewall1 installed
to scan all traffic going through the leased line. Some workstations also
have modems installed. Is it possible for Firewall1 to pick up and scan the
traffic from and to the workstations when they connect using the modem,
through a different line?
background for my question:
I do support for an application that connects to a mainframe for data
transfer. This application will not be able to communicate with our host if
there is a proxy or firewall between the client and our host, so they use
the modem to connect instead of the leased line. However, some customers are
still unable to connect to the mainframe, and upon further investigation, we
find a route in the routingtable pointing out host straight to the IP of the
firewall.
I don't know Firewall1, and can't find an answer to how this route appears,
effectively causing the communication to the mainframe to fail. Anybody with
knowledge of firewall1 that can expain to me how we can avoid this route
being created in the route table? Configuration in Firewall1? or with the
client?
Any help would be great
thank you
Eve
