[AG-TECH] Venue Server and Clients inside or outside the general firewall?

[Michael Miller]

Sabine,

I suppose the ideal would be to put the VenueServer behind the firewall 
with ports xxx0(main port), xxx2(event),xxx4(text), xxx6(data) open, and 
then run the BridgeServer on a separate machine outside the firewall 
with a local firewall protecting all but the range given for the bridges.

Others may have different configs depending on what they are trying to do.
