Hi,
I have a closed network which is for BCP (Business Contingency Plan) purpose. All servers and BCP clients are being connected to the same CISCO switch. Yet, only the BCP client PC do have a NAT IP address which allow us to VNC/remote control it from the outside production network (cause our BCP site is quite remote).
And after the BCP process completed, our boss would like us to use the closed BCP network as the user testing environment as this environment nearly 98% similar to the production one (production use more than 1 switch).
Yet, problems arise, we use Microsoft Visual source safe as the source/change management system. Now, our testing servers are all within the closed network and the Visual source safe server is outside this closed network as it also need to promote the tested source code to production after test. The problem is : once we developed the programs, we need to FTP (via VNC) the source to the client BCP PC and then transfer the source to the appropriate server and compile it over there or upload the source to the Visual source safe on that isolated test server for managing test program versions.
This is for sure not efficient ... I would like to know whether there is a chance of making use the BCP client PC (the only PC that can bridge to the outside world) and let the Visual source safe client, which installed on every testing servers already, and let them to contact the Visual source safe server in the production environment?
** we use Windows 2000 servers and client PCs **
Kindly please advise the possibility.
Cheers
Stanley
