I'm testing AltaVista Firewall for NT. The env. are
Pentium 75Mhz
Memory 64MB
NT 4.0
I found that the HTTP proxy is very slow, don't know why. Other proxy
services (FTP, TELNET) are well running. Further more, I have some
questions.
1. Is there no other way to enter inside Firewall network except SNK
HHA? I know more than one way are in the UNIX version --reusable
password ...
2. Are inside users able to connect News Server outside firewall?
3. Are outside users able to connect Web Serve inside firewall?
Thank in advance for any comments

That's not exactly the speediest processor ;-) Ironically, this month's issue
of Back Office commended the speed of the firewall, including the web proxy.
If the other proxies are connecting quickly (i.e. able to resolve names) and
entering an ip address based URL takes just as long, then you might play with
caching to see if that has an impact.

No, but domain authentication is coming in 3.0
2. Are inside users able to connect News Server outside firewall?
yes, set up a generic proxy.
3. Are outside users able to connect Web Serve inside firewall?
You really should not try to do this, as it allows external access to your
internal network. Put it on your red side if you can.
