Title: Network Design 2 basic questions
Post by: xlancealotx on Wednesday 14 April 2010, 06:22:37 am
I am completing my rules, policies here on the local endian community FW, then will bring it to the co-lo for production.  I had an open thread and touched on this note but the main point of the other was answered.  With that, I have 1 public internet from my ISP, then 3 networks behind.  A server network (database, development, etc) which goes to one switch, a webserver network which goes to a High Availability Load balancer, then a switch and lastly a basic 10.x network.  I thought I was going to have to put the load balancer on the other switch due to the fact there are not multiple orange zones, but reading the admin guide I see it say "There is only a logical difference between this zone and ORANGE. " Since the endian already recognizes 4 NIC's, it looks like I can (finally my 1st question), make the webserver network the 'blue' zone, send a cable -> LB -> Switch -> WebServers the way things are now with no loss of anything right?  I dont want to go through all the setup to find the blue zone runs at 10mb, or some other odd rules.

The other thing, is there anyway, a patch, etc. on the firewall page to show the hostnames on the rules?  Right now it just shows all the IP's, the ports, etc. but I have the IP's entered in the host section of the firewall - or - can I just use the hostname in the network/IP/Range field? 

Looking to get this in next week so naturally I will have more questions  :)

Thanks,.
