Yes these are public websites. Outside people will have access to the site, FTP, email, etc.

Hi, <br />
I am looking for any recommended best practices, setup guides, etc. I have a book and help files. But, I thought I would check here first for any tips to reduce hair pulling, lol. :)<br />
<br />
I have 2 servers running Windows 2008 Server Standard<br />
Server 1: IIS, Primary DNS<br />
Server 2: SMTP, POP3, Secondary DNS<br />
Each server is behind a Juniper firewall and is assigned an internal IP range mapped to external IPs from my datacenter ISP. The firewall also does DNS proxy to the ISP DNS IPs.<br />
<br />
I am looking to configure the DNS for Web hosting. I will also act as my own nameserver as I do now. I am in the process of migrating from one datacenter to another. However, this time I am using my own firewall (setup complete for that) and my own DNS.
