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. |
