network design, need feedback…

by techrepublic . Updated 18 years ago

Hey people, need some feedback on network design. See the pic below.

Basically im in a debate as to whether i should put the firewall before the router or after it (like in the pic). I put the 1800 there to take the load of packet switching and multihoming off the firewall. keep in mind the 1800 is a firewall aswell but would just be firewalling the dmz (which is also debatable) and pretty much passing everything else down to the ASA.

I *believe* the design in the pic is what cisco recommends but there may be some natting issues to do with the multiple internet connections?

any thoughts appreciated. thanks in advance!
