If you do not proxy access by their application through an intermediate
then of the two you mention, although scanty info/specific are given, it
seems forwarding to your server is more safe than having their software
on a machine with a mapping. Again, scanty info, and much depends on
what ports are used by their software (i.e. what would be forwarded,
and from where).

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
