Solarwinds availabitly via www?

I'm tasked with coming up with a plan to make our solarwinds available via WWW. Which is better? To get a second additional web server? or put the one we have in the zone so it is accessible?

Thanks Vinay BY!

In most cases, you are better to have a separate web server because it protects more of your internal environment.

That said, I've worked places where they didn't get the secondary web server. But if you do that, at least put in a second NIC on your polling engine, and only expose THAT IP to the internet and only on port 443. Nothing else should be permitted to or from that system on that interface.

I could concur with Leon Adato here. The Additional Web Server is definitely the way to go.
