Re: DMZ Basics (revised)... Here is a webcast from Microsoft explaining how to set up perimeter networks.
The information provided uses ISA server, but it goes into the basics of setting up a DMZ.

They may have a good presentation on DMZs, but I am a bit careful when I see security related material coming out of Microsoft. I played with ISA server a while back and it was horrid. It was just like Exchange - full of features and unstable as hell.
Perhaps their DMZ information will be better than their premier firewall product which paled in comparison to many freely downloadable Linux alternatives.

I wasn't so much posting the link to promote ISA server, as I was to promote the webcast which gives visual representations of a 3-homed and back to back perimeter networks.
As far as ISA, I have been testing it for about two months. It does have a number of features and stability is an issue, at times. My biggest concern is performance which at the moment I would rate as mediocre. I still prefer the CISCO products.
I just started getting back into the Linux world within the last month or so and haven't had a moment to test security solutions. If you would have any recommendations for firewall, proxy, or similar applications I would be interested in testing them. |

Re: The Webcast First off - many thanks danielrm26 for making the time to give such a clear & thoro' explanation, and to others for your contribs.
Looking at the transcript of the webcast, much of the 2 hours of it is taken up with Q&A. Most (tho not all) of that is highly ISA-specific.
So try downloading the (excellent) PPT show & the transcript before you do the streaming video. (Unless your social life has suddenly died).
