I'm setting up a linux firewall for my companies T1. All of our other machines
will be windoze. I also need to setup a Windows VPN server (can't use the linux
clients for reasons I can't get into here).

1) Someone suggested to me that I put the VPN in the linux DMZ and foward the
ports to that machine. Does that make sense?

2 I also have another security question which I have no idea how to handle. We
have some application (IIS) servers that we want on the internet. I can put
those outside of the firewall (or port foward 80 to that machine), BUT those
machines will need access to servers INSIDE the fireall (SQL Server). Any
suggestions on how to handle this one? I haven't a clue :(
