Setting up DMZ

ok, i'm in the process of building a dmz... have nokia ip330 setup with checkpoint ng, fp3... i need to find documents on how to build this? i've searched all through checkpoints knowledge base, not enough info..

- what i need is from the beginning, objects i need to make (putting exchange out there)
- rules i need to make
- also, have securemote users that need access to exchange server remotely
- need to ensure corporate lan will NOT have issues getting email from dmz

any help or direction to find this will be beyond GREATLY APPRECIATED....

I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I really hope you're not doing this for a business because you're basically asking for an entire setup scenario, something you should already know how to do if you are in charge of this for a company.

Secondly...what kind of a DMZ are you looking for? I would need more information...how are you wanting to lock things down? What devices do you have in your network besides exchange? A DMZ can mean different things...you can have a dirty DMZ, you have create a sandwhiched type DMZ where you have multiple firewalls...but you pointed out you only have a single checkpoint box...so what you're creating really isn't a true DMZ in the sense its mostly used. DMZs are mostly used to segment parts of networks, moreso than just the classic, Internet -> LAN segment.

So what you're wanting to know is simply how to setup your firewall to separate your LAN from the Internet?? Or do you have multiple boxes or other devices you can use to segment and route traffic?? More info is needed here.
