Firewall options...
I am in the process of modeling my network once I rent my own rackspace somewhere and I could use a little help. I was thinking of using something such as Compaq's DL320's for DNS servers and a mail server running a 800mhz PIII, and using DL380's as web servers most likely upped to 512mb RAM. My question is, would you recommend a firewall added as a safeguard? If so what kind of system would this require? If I did add one I would either be looking at a Linux box, maybe a NT machine with CheckPoint, or the more sensible option (in my opinion)a stand alone firewall unit. Think this would be an ok setup? Or would I be buying too powerful equpiment?
Thanks in advance!
