I’m in the planning and preparation stage of making some big config changes to our Domino setup.
Right now all Domino DB’s are on one server that is behind a firewall in the orange DMZ zone.
Soon we will install a second box/ domino server inside our network to run all internal only DB’s leaving only the web apps to run on the DMZ server.
As I’m going through all of the code in the DB’s and removing all hard coded server and path references, I have come across a problem.
Some of the the apps on the DMZ server will need to access some DB data on the internal server. For instance, a web user can login and check the status of their order. The DB is local on the DMZ box but it uses an embedded view from what will soon be the green box.
I assume this won’t work after the change. What is the best way to handle this?
My experience so far has been with one domino server but I assume I can push a DB replication from green to DMZ but this seems like a waste if I only need to access a very small amount of data.
What about opening ports to allow DMZ to pull from internal box? I assume, if possible, that wouldn’t be a good idea.
Any advice on the best way to handle this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
