1897.0. "How to configure to let red ne to access web server in blue net ?" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Arthur Lin) Thu Mar 27 1997 00:14

I installed a AVFW 2.0 for UNIX firewall. There is a web server inside the
blue
net. How can I do to let Internet users be able to access the internal web
server ?

The following methods are the possible solutions I guessed:
1. To use generic gateway 
   - But the generic gateway supports only one-to-one model and the web access
     is many(external)-to-one(internal) model. 

2. To open the tcp port 80 by modifying screend.conf
   - I have tried to do so, but still got no progress.


Any idea for this questions ?

You're on the right track.

For option one to work, set up the generic relay as one-to-one
through the GUI, and then follow the appnote that tells you how
to make it many-to-one.  You also need to ensure that the 
external DNS resolves the name of the WWW Server to the external
address of the firewall.

For option two, you need the IP subnet containing the WWW Server
to be routed over the Internet backbone to the outside of the
firewall.  This is a right royal pain, but can be done if it's
a registered subnet.

Finally, option three is to wait for AFWU V3.0 in which it's an
awful lot easier to configure many-to-one relays.
