One could argue that it might make "moe" sense as a basis of
redundancy, however my situation is more one of why or why not to
do so. Security, perhaps but since its internet facing the trust from within
is better then the trust outside, and since theres outside facing nets....

The problem is that I see both sides of the fence so to speak reagarding
this issue. The item of cost for the packets flowing on my WAN is
quite little, but more so wondering about best practices.

Thanks
