[AG-TECH] Firewall and unicast questions

[Masullo, Chris F]

Hello All,

We currently have our AG nodes outside our firewall, however cyber
security
has told us that we need to move the systems inside our firewall.  The
last 
time I brought up this issue a number of years ago I was told that
multicast 
would not get past our firewall. I have some questions regarding this
issue.

Has anyone successfully placed an AG VTC system behind a Cisco Firewall?
Are there any issues using unicast mode for and AG node behind a
firewall?
If not then why not run unicast?

I have looked through the mailer however I do not see any answers to
these
Questions.

Thanks in advance
