New Setup help

[jlmeyer01]

Here is my setup, I am only doing this for clean and expanding wise, so don't ask :-)



Internet
|
Cable Modem
|
Untangle Server - 2 Nic Cards - Own Server
|
Linksys Wired Router 8 port
|



Router Port 1/24 port switch = Active Directory - Windows Server 2008 - Own Server

Router Port 2/24 port switch = Web - Red Hat Enterprise Linux with LAMP or Windows Web Server - Own Server

Router Port 3/24 port switch = Game - Red Hat Linux

Router Port 4/24 port switch = Mail - Windows Exchange Server - Own Server

Router Port 5/24 port switch = Media - Red Hat Linux

Router Port 6 = Storage and Active Directory Server Backup running Windows Server 2003 with Norton Ghost or other Backup Software

Router Port 7 = Storage and Backup Server for above running Windows Server 2003 with Norton Ghost or other Backup Software

Router Port 8 = Storage and Backup Server for above

My question is how do I get my users to log on, Do I leave port 80 on the untangle box open and have it pass them through to the web server and let them access everything that way or do I pay $12.00 to godaddy.com for a server with ssl that after verification would pass them throught untangle box to the server they wanted to use?

First all : how many public ip you have?

Another questions:
Who is doing the NAT ? untangle? linksys? both?
What services (and ports) you need to be open for external access?
The router have 8 or 24 port?

Is UT in bridged mode or is it acting as the router? What purpose does the Linksys serve? If you get rid of the Linksys and use UT as the router as well, you can just use Directory Connector and Policy Manager. That is, if you're trying to just connect to the local resources.
