Greetings,

I'm being rushed into a project that will involve putting a component on my
NT web server that will talk to various MS boxes internally. They are
proposing to use DCOM. A quick look at DCOM shows me that they are basically
doing RPC stuff and of course I'm not a real fan of RPC.

Any one know more then this?

The only good news is that the NT box is on a 3rd interface off of the
firewall.

How bad is DCOM? Coming from MS, I can only assume that they did not think
about security too hard in their design.

Thanks for any insight...

Don
