    We are in the process of planning a direct connection to the Internet.
    Our Enterprise Network is based on Netware 4.11 and we use NDS for our
    directory service. We have narrowed the choices  for the bastion host
    down to Checkpoint FW-1 on Solaris and TIS Gauntlet on BSD. We do not
    plan on giving all employees Internet access, but there will still be
    around 300 who will have access. 
    
    Our original plan was to use Novell's BorderManager between the bastion
    host and the EN for caching and controlling access to the outside
    through the NDS object rights associated with BorderManager. This part
    of the plan has been cut out due to -$$$. It may be put in place later
    if the caching is needed. 
    
    (We are also putting up an Intranet based on IIS. All EN users will have
    browsers and we plan on controlling what they can access on the Intranet
    server by using NDS for NT.)
    
    How does one go about controlling access to the bastion host? I don't
    want these users having ids on the bastion host. So what other choices
    are there?
    
    PS: Please, no comments on FW-1 vs. Gauntlet preferences outside of the
    access question. That's for us to decide - which product will implement
    our security policy the best.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Kevin
