Internal Server Security



Hi all hope I'm in the right group. Our company is working with an outside
firm to provide web hosting for us that requires real time data from an
internal server. Their software sits on any machine and listens to to a
predetermined port that we have forwarded [from the firewall]. We have
conteplated setting this port forwarding directly to our internal server.
We have also contemplated setting up another machine with their software and
then mapping a drive to our internal server for the data their software
needs. Given the fact that the secondary machine would have a drive mapped
to our internal server is it any more secure than just forwarding the
traffice to the server. Any clarification would be appreciated.

TIA
