Imho, since it is used both internally and externally, then it ought to be in the DMZ. It can be a potential source of compromsie from external sources if placed on the internal network. Noah.

Hi List,
I am not sure about the right place for our database server. We have an external and an internal firewall (SuSE 9.0) with a DMZ. The application server is used for internal and external work. It needs a database server on its own machine. Should I take it in the DMZ or in the internal network? What is the (security related) best decision?
Thanks Christian
