Firewall between IIS and SQL Server

Hi:

(Sorry for double post, I already post it in sqlserver.setup group but
i did't get any reply.)

I plan to deploying an ASP.Net web app into the following scenario:


Internet --> Firewall1 --> WebServer (IIS+SQL Server 2000) -->
firewall2 --> SQL Server 2000


The WebServer and the SQL Server behind the firewall2 is sit on
different LAN (different sub net),
and a two way replication will be create to sync these two SQL server
through firewall2.


Is it possible ? Is the firewall2 redundant ?
Separate the Web server and SQL server to different sub net and add
firewall2 between Web Server and SQL Server, does this configuration
provide better security to secure the data use by the LAN user ?


Thanks

having your servers behind the firewall does provide greater security.
however, you might want to read up on configuration to ensure connectivity
between hubs.
