Thank you for your help. ;-)
Hi All, Since there's no mention of the Internet bandwidth provided or any detailed info on incoming/outgoing traffic, I'd like to raise the point that bandwidth traffic should be a consideration when designing the security infrastructure as well as the traffic volume capability of the FWs. After all, it would not be good if the FW becomes a chokepoint for the incoming/outgoing traffic instead...:-)
Cheers, Jordan Wang

Hello all:
I need your advice about a firewall configuration with two levels of them.
In our organization we have a first level of FWs, fortigate 800, that mainly are working such IPS (it is configurated is stealth mode, like a bridge). In the second one, there is a FW1 separating the differents DMZ zones. There are 3 DMZ behind the FW1 which manage the traffic between them and with the outside (Internet). Also the FW1 does NAT.
There is one DMZ zone with a very high (1) level of security, and other one with a medium level (2) of security and the third is a public DMZ with all the public services like WEB servers.
OUTSIDE | fortigate (IPS in stealth mode) | PUBLIC DMZ ..... FW1-----DMZ (2) | ..DMZ(1)
I would like to know if it is a good configuration to move the DMZ Public to a fortigate Interface, and to make the NAT in the first FW fortigate for the hosts in public DMZ. So the configuration will be:
OUTSIDE | fortigat -----Public DMZ | FW1-----DMZ (2) | ...DMZ(1)
Which topology will you do with two levels of firewalls?
Thanks in advance.
