Shorewall users - Jan 2005 - RE: Outlook Web Access behind shorewall firewalldoesn''t work

Thanks for such a quick reply Tom!

Any suggestions then as to what I might do other than putting a second
nic in the SBS and opening it up for web access?  I don''t like the
idea,
but since MS SBS includes fireall that is actually what MS suggests.

Shorewall configures Netfilter which is a *packet filter*. Packet
filters look at the contents of packet headers but neither understand
nor care about higher-lever protocols such as HTTP, -DAV nor otherwise.

I have no suggestions -- possibly someone else on the list is familiar
with this issue.
