Microsoft making life difficult for Firewall administrators:

Are you trying to tell me that Microsoft could possibly be responsible for a product that makes it harder to imlement security? Never... :) On a serious note, I was especially interested in the part about DCOM not working over NAT. I know a lot of companies and organizations that use NAT extensively in their architecture. What are they supposed to do? Seems to be yet another poor policy decision from Microsoft. :(
Poor decision from Microsoft...... like beer and pizza.. Seems to me you'd be hard pressed to find a "good decision" by the Redmond fire ants. Oh well.
