I am looking for a bit of practical advice.  

My school is implementing an IDS system and has purchased software, but can
only deploy it on the inside or outside of our firewall due to licensing
restrictions.  I am trying to make a determination as to what side would be
more helpful for me.  

I was initially thinking I should place it on the outside so that I could
watch for any potential attacks, however I am now thinking that it may be
more useful inside, as I am primarily concerned with what actually gets in.
Placing it inside should also (hopefully) give me less to wade through since
the firewall should stop the majority of intrusion attempts. 

I would find any suggestions helpful.

Thanks,
Jason
