Hi,

I’m new to Lotus Domino.

We’re about to configure two Domino servers. One Domino server will be in the DMZ and the other one will be in the private zone. The domino sever in the DMZ will just receive the internet mails and pass them to the private server. The local users will use the private server.

Now my question is: What config is needed to allow people to use iNotes from home ?? Is it possible to access our server in the DMZ and configure Domino in such a way that the requests are passed to the private server ??

Thanks in advance, an answer would be very appreciated.

I’m not a network guy, but I would say that a simple statement on the firewall to pass all http traffic (ports 80 and 443) to your domino server would do the trick. It’s what we’re doing. Also, I would only allow smtp traffic to your public address. You could even make both addresses private and the firewall would offer the restrictions.

I would also recommend getting an SSL certificate and only allowing secure http transactions to the server. But that’s the security side of me talking. You may see performance issues doing that with, but on an iSeries you could get the SSL card to offload the requests from the main processor.
