Hi,

I was wondering with this configuration how I can add another server so
that when someone connects from internet they can access a web server for a
website and/or access another server to get email? Basically saying adding
another server to network and want to be able to access either server
depending on internet users needs. Here's the layout now:


"Internet" <-> "CableModem" <-> "Cisco Pix Firewall/Router" <-> "switch" <->
"sbs server 2003"

Can I tell the PIX for certain traffic go to this server and for other
traffic go here?

Thanks,

JJ
 
You would utilize port forwarding. You can specify traffic destined to port
80 ( HTTP ) goes to your web server and traffic destined to port 25 ( SMTP )
goes to your Mail server.

And for added security you may want to do something like this:


Internet----------[ PIX ]----------Private LAN ( AD etc )
|
L------------WebServer,
Mail Server etc.

This is a DMZ. It will keep potentially malicious traffic off of your
Internal subnet. That means that if set up properly, if your Web Server
were compromised, the attacker should not be able to compromise machines on
the private LAN.
