There are several pointers that discuss the various ways that firewalls
can be configured, but your best bet is to RTFM the FW1 manual first, to
learn all about your expensive piece of software.. Then after you
thoroughly understand your software, list out the advantages/disadvantages
to it. After this has been completed, then you can start by reading the
Firewall FAQ referred to by Paul Robertson in a previous email reply.
After you thoroughly understand that material. I suggest moving on to
Bellovin and Cheswick's book, then Chapman and Zwicky's book. After that
you will have enough knowledge to go to the whiteboard and draw up a
potential architecture for your organization based on the many different
items mentioned in all the items you have read.
Throwing around terms may not necessary help you right away, understanding
what those terms mean will.
hope this helps

Subject: Doubt Reg. Firewall Configuration
Hi all,
I have this piece of doubt regarding the design of the Configuration
Setup for a firewall.
Well its known that there exist mainly the 3 types of configurations
1. Screened host firewall system (Single-homed bastion host)
2. Screened host firewall system (Dual-homed bastion host)
3. Screened-subnet firewall system.
Well, my question is
1. Whether there exists other ways of configuration ?
2. If the bastion host in the case of Screened-subnet firewall system is
dual homed, will that lead to an enhanced security setup ?
Any pointers reg. is mostly appreciated.
Thanx
Subbu
