Hi Ronish,

Why dont u host webservers between the two firewalls instead of 
putting it in 2nd firewalls dmz? that should provide you with more
flexiblility? as when you add new servers you will have to configure 1
firewall & thus the configurations would be simplified.

The security depends on how "well you configure" the firewalls to
protect your network.

Gautam

Hi List,

I have a network setup with 2 firewalls

There is a DMZ on the Internet facing firewall

The servers on this DMZ contains servers that host
both "http" and "https" pages

There are no DMZ on the second firewall

From what I understand, this setup is not providing
defense in depth, at least not full defense in depth

I wanted to create a DMZ on the second firewall, and
move servers that host "HTTPS" pages to this new DMZ

Would this new setup improve the security of the
network?

Thanks for comments,

Ronish
