Here are a few questions :
1) I asssume that a webserver with public company information is best located
on the outside of the firewall. Are there any extra precautions to be taken to
avoid that "others" can write to the webserver environment ?
2) Suppose that I want to update the information from data in a database on a
machine that is on the inside of the firewall : how do I fix that in a safe way
? A CGI based solution, using some kind of database connect will probably not
wrk because the firewall will not allow it.
