In this discussion, you will address a business problem related to intranet security. For your initial post, you will assess 10 business-critical servers that need to send and accept traffic from the Internet and determine where on the network they should be put. Your organization has a network segmented into two subnets, both of which have a firewall. Subnet One is the Intranet and it connects to Subnet Two using a router. Subnet Two connects to the Internet via a border router. Consider the risks associated with a presence on the Internet, and examine the firewall architecture in order to determine the best placement for each critical server. Explain where you would place each of the critical servers listed below on the network, providing a rationale for your choices. Be sure to include information on how the chosen locations will secure the essential business services provided by each critical server.
