Another possible solution if you're working within a Microsoft environment
would be to set up a terminal server and allow them to run terminal sessions
to the server which would have outbound internet access. Just insure that
policy is set so that the RDP client doesn't allow connections back to any
local drives/printers/etc.

Better than 250 new computers. :D

Subject: One computer two different networks

Hi all,

(First of all I want to apologise if I am misplacing this question, if so
I'd appreciate if anyone could point me to the right direction)

So here is the situation:

We have about 250 computers that are isolated in a high-security network,
we want to give internet access to those computer users without
compromising the secured network...of course our first thought is to buy
250 computers so the users can switch between computers (one for the
secure network, one for internet)... but that might not be most practical
solution...

So, I've been looking around and I've found a product called DATAGATE,
from Tenix which works as a "Data Diode"... looks interesting... but I'd
like to have a second opinion...

Does anyone know about other products or techniques on how to accomplish
this??

thanks!
