Bad idea, this will totally defeat the purpose of the firewall and is a serious security risk. A proper solution would be as follows. 1. The server should be hardened according to guidelines available on the web. 2. Placed on the DMZ network with the firewall controlling and logging access between the internal network and the server and the internet and the server.

Hello, Sorry this is slightly off-topic, but I can't find any appropriate information on the net. I need to know how 'safe' mutlihoming a computer is.... Some of my collegues have built a backup computer (veritas software, routing disabled - I hope!!) that has 2 NICs in it. One with an IP on our public facing DMZ, one with an IP on our secure internal LAN. I am strongly against this setup as I feel it compromises the security of our internal LAN, but I can't find any information that will confirm or deny this. Could someone please advise me, or know any where that I can find some specific information on this?
