I would like to know what is the most secure way to connect networks that are independently managed. The senario is: A corporation has different departments. Each department has their own applications and independent network. But the CEO wants to have access to the applications on both networks. The network administrators are concerned on security. I thought about putting a router in the middle to connect to the switch from each network and only allowing the IP of the CEO's computer(which ison one swich). Please give me any suggestions.

hm... interesting scenario. If the only traffic that is supposed to span the networks is the CEO's. Then yea, using a router with ACL's will do. But whats to stop someone from spoofing that address? Also, what happens if he decides to take his laptop to another network (meeting or something)... he has to get another address then...(assuming your not running a VLAN).
