Looking for a cheap firewll solution for a hosting web server which has to
make queries to a production server in the internal LAN. It would be ideal
to use a hardware firewall with one WAN and two LAN interfaces so that a DMZ
could be set up.

Just want to see if I can use inexpensive ADSL routers such as Netgear,
D-Link and Linksys for security.

Internet - <Dlink DI-704> - WebServer - <Dlink DI-704> - Internal LAN

The first Dlink will have only port 80 opened for the WebServer. All other
protocol will be blocked. The second one will allow the WebServer to access
the Internal Lan by FTP. All other address IP's and protocols will be
blocked.

I know it is not a secure solution but just want to know if it would still
provide some firewall function. Otherwise, I would consider building a
Linux firewall. Any comments?

Cheers,

JP
