firewall behind a firewall?

[dsmcd]

Hello...

I need to get a firewall on some laptops which travel
between home and the office. At the office, we have a
Netscreen firewall, but the laptops need a software
firewall on them for when they're at home.

Are there any issues with having a firewall behind a
firewall? Probably be a thinking about either Zonealarm or
Deerfield for the laptops. We have a Netscreen hardware
firewall at the office.

Any suggestions?

Thx,
D.

There should be no problem, I do it myself. Usually you can
configure a trusted network on personal firewalls that would be exempt from
firewall rules. You may have to configure the trusted zone to be your office
subnet. --- Steve

Look at BlackIce. ZA isn't my favorite.
