Hello,

I am going to install a pix 515E w/2 ethernet ports.

Currently, each server has 2 ethernet ports. One has a public IP and the
other has a private.

When I install the pix, I want the traffic to just pass through the device
and only allow certian ports through. I have set up several pix firewalls
in the past, but I have always used NAT translations to an inside private IP
address. I am trying to avoid removing all the public IP addresses from the
server.

Is there a way to configure a pix to filter traffic without having to use
NAT/PAT? I want it to filter on that public IP address range. My guess is,
it will still be the same.....but this is a HUGE cutover tonight and its in
a datacenter of which I am not familiar with the network.

IF you could please email me the response to eric@ellistonconsulting
.com,
that would be great. I will be on the road and I can get my email on my
blackberry.

Thanks!

Eric Elliston
