Working on a network where I need to include an additional routing device in front of the firewall so I can route multiple public IPs to machines behind this device. I am wondering with the server I am building if it would be a sound decision to use a VMware based machine solution to this problem, where m0n0wall sits on the virtual machine with it's own interfaces as well as the secondary machine behind it. I may try it to see what the results are, but just wondering if anyone here has an opinion on the scenario. I have thought about security concerns, (the core VM machine will be a non network accessible linux based distro running selinux, and the vmmachine will not be routing any addresses to the any virtual interfaces. I will use multiple ethernet ports/cards to satiate the 4-5 ports I would need to do this. Any thoughts/ banter/ ridicule is appreciated. :) Scott |
