I have two networks setup, one is using the 2 NIC system along with proxy.
I tested it with Shields up (https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2) and it is running in ?full stealth mode?.
The other is not setup for proxy yet, it will have about 6 usersaccessing the Internet, the server is a Dell 450 p3 duel processor, 256 mb of ram and running Platinum (our fanatical software), Exchange, and no other software.
Which is the better way of setting up proxy, by using two NIC?s or purchasing a second computer and running it separate from the server?
Cost is not an issue, security and performance is.
I have been told that using a second computer is much more secure than the duel-homed method, is this true?
Microsoft seems to support the duel-home system.
Thanks,
Jerry
