Our network manager had recently posed a question about the possibility of using a single VMWare ESX machine with multiple NICs attached to the Inside and DMZ networks. These NICs are supposedly to remain isolated thru the “virtual switch.” My initial personal feeling is that the segments of the network should remain physically as well as logically separate. My question to you is what would you do in this situation? Would you allow this into your infrastructure and what precautions would you take to minimize exposure? Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
