Re: [FW-1] How do you manage multiple http ports??



I've got about 40 custom rules at the bottom of my rulebase allowing for
specific exceptions to the standard policy. We open them up on a one by
one basis. I also add a note in the comments of who made the request and
the date. Then we go back and audit them to make sure they are still
needed. It works ok. But its not fun having the extra 40 rules in an
already large rule base.

Subject: [FW-1] How do you manage multiple http ports??


Hey all,

I'm wondering what the prefered method is to allow http traffic through
to the Internet when particular ports are used. In our case, we only
allow traffic through the standard http and https ports and coming from
our proxies. But we lately received a few request from consultants
wanting to access their intranet over the Internet. Their servers, on
the other end, listen to such ports as 1850 or 7349 or whatever.

I'm sure we're not the first ones to come accross such a situation. And
we certainly don't want to start managing all these request on a 1 by 1
basis (people starting or leaving, keeping track, etc). On the other
hand, I'm a little bit reluctant to allow unrestricted access to the
Internet from our proxies.

So the question is: How are you managing this situation? What are the
best practices in such cases?

Thanks very much for your help,
Michel
