[NTLUG:Discuss] Router Needed?

[Burton M. Strauss III]

If you can get away with a low-rent solution, consider extending one of your
world routable addresses with some consumer grade gear - DLink, NetGear,
Linksys... any of the wireless/wired access point routers.

To your protected systems they'll look like any other outsider.
To them it will look just like a 'normal' NATed connection.


<Internet>-----<ISP's Router>-----<HUB>----<firewall>----internal network
                                    |
                                  <DLink>
                                    |
                                Conference
                                   room

Just give the DLink a static address from your /28 or whatever you get from
your ISP.
