Hi all,
I am a new Network Admin and have a question about server placement behind a
firewall. Is it better to place a publicly accessible server on the DMZ
with a hardened OS or to place it behind the firewall with the appropriate
ports open? I am using NAT so does this really add another level of
security? More info: I'm getting a lot of pressure to have this box a
member of our domain (rather than stand-alone, which I normally do). This
is going to be a Win2K server running Terminal Services with the firewall
opened up for RDP (TCP 3389) to the one machine (which is using one to one
NAT). If the machine is only on the LAN and behind the firewall does the OS
need to be hardened?
