[Mapserver-users] MapServer in a DMZ

Hi all,

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I need some advice on web 
server configuration, and it is out of my area.  I know jsut enough to 
think there may be a problem, but not enough to be sure or how to get 
around it.

I want to set up a service in a couple of places, and need some advice on 
what programs can be run where.

In both places, there will be a web server but one will be a windows 
machine and the other will be an esmith server (linux).  They will be 
serving the respective web sites, but will need to also deliver maps or 
reports on request using GIS data.

The data that we are providing will be delivered from a Red Hat server 
running PostGIS, with the data populated from the software that I have 
developed.

Ideally, I would like to run MapServer and MapScript on our Red Hat server 
so that I don't have to run windows and linux versions, and configure each 
server.  But this will only have a local IP address and not be exposed to 
the internet.  Is this possible?  SHould I be educating myself about SOAP 
etc.

TIA.

Merry xmas.
R
