to follow up on this note,
        I was considering using a reverse proxy (linux with squid forwarding
requests to an IIS server from clients on the internet- I don't like IIS
talking to anybody directly, if I can help it). Im trying to build a case
for this atm, and your note has made me think that using squid would prevent
anyone running a cmd shell over port 80 (using netcat for instance)? would
the reverse proxy stop all but http/ssl connections?
        also, don't suppose anyone knows a way of restricting Get requests
etc through squid? i.e. if a request does not equal x/y/z then drop the
request?
cheers
